PiFan Commemorates Teruo Ishii with Film Retrospective

Korea's Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan) will kick off its 10th edition this year on July 13th and includes a retrospective spotlighting recently deceased Japanese cult director Teruo Ishii. Other such honorees include Fritz Lang, Jacques Tati and Audrey Hepburn, so the Pinky Violence Godfather is obviously held in high esteem. The timing is impeccable, with the Panik House releases of Screwed and Blind Beast Vs. Killer Dwarf scheduled less than two weeks later on July 25th. Female Yakuza Tale will be available again at this time giving audiences a healthy sampling of the many aspects of this legendary director's career.
Stateside, there will be a few private screenings of Ishii's (and other Panik House) films at the 15th Annual Anime Expo in Anaheim, California July 1 - 4 and then in the film program at both Gen Con Indy (in Indianapolis) August 10 - 13 and Gen Con So Cal (in Anaheim) November 16 - 19.
It's shaping up to be a Pink summer, people!
