MUSIC VIDEO ASIATRT: 83mins The realms of underground Asian/American music and video-making never cease to amaze and inspire, and in its most exciting line-up to date MUSIC VIDEO ASIA offers 23 new masterpieces. Led by an incredible crop of Asian American gems, from the political-prose of BLACK EYED PEAS to IQU's theremin-tuned electronic confection, MVA again travels the globe to provide a soundtrack to the Asian underground. Stateside, San Francisco's MC-laureate Lyrics Born dishes out hip-hop genius, and the return of legendary Bay Area metal gods Death Angel is an occasion to celebrate in itself. The perfect pop of Oakland's Citizens Here And Abroad sends a bridge over the Atlantic where Sweden's best rock'n'roll band Empire Dogs reside, and the UK's Sri Lankan-born M.I.A. will no doubt astound with her dub-inspired activism. Across the other ocean, the sleazy rock'n'roll insanity of Japan's Guitar Wolf provides a perfect counterpoint to the breezy indiepop of Manila's Rivermaya and Taipei's post-rocking Tin Pan Alley—all highlights that must be witnessed to be believed. In person: Directors Patricio Ginelsa, Jason Koxvold, Evan Leong and Eugenia Chan
