San Diego Asian Film Festival opens Nov. 1

Undead sushi, gay zombies and ghosts—oh my! The SDAFF is full of unusual cinema this year.

With more than 120 flicks from 20 countries, the programming at the critically lauded San Diego Asian Film Festival covers a whole range of subject matters and genres, not all of them offbeat, but we love this year’s slate of more unusual cinematic fare. Like Remington and the Curse of the Zombadings, just your everyday, run-of-the-mill gay zombie comedy-horror flick from the Philippines; Dead Sushi, a Japanese film about mutant killer sashimi, and I am a Ghost, a ’70s-style supernatural mystery about a clairvoyant who winds up doing some spectral psychotherapy in order to get a havoc-wreaking spirit to stop haunting a family’s home. Nov. 1-9. UltraStar Hazard Center Cinemas, 7510 Hazard Center Drive, Mission Valley. 619.400.5911. sdaff.org
