Gehenna: Where Death Lives East Coast Premiere

November 11, 2016 @ 9:20 pm - 11:10 pm

$5 – $8

Synopsis:
Paulina and Tyler visit Saipan to scout locations for their company”s newest resort. After finding what was seemingly a perfect location, they discover a hidden cave on the property. They decide to explore it, enlisting the help of Alan, their location coordinator, and his assistant Pepe. The cave turns out to be a long-time abandoned Japanese military base. It dates back to WW2, and unbeknownst to them, existed much earlier. As they move forward, they encounter several dried up corpses, but they are undaunted; their curiosity outweighing their fear… but not for long. With Doug Jones (Pan”s Labrynth, Hellboy) as the creature actor, this is a strong debut feature film from scupltor and costume designer Hiroshi Katagiri (The Hunger Games, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Looper).

The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) Preview Party is a free public event that will provide a sneak peek of what to expect at our upcoming annual film festival, scheduled for November 7th - 17th. We will unveil this year’s theme, the festival trailer, and trailers of the feature films. Guests will get an overview of the programming, including non-film events such as panels, performances, and parties as well as VIP guests attending the festival.

We have added a new element to our preview party this year. We will host a mini-marketplace to support and provide a platform for our local AAPI makers and businesses. We will also feature a local indie band, Moonroof.
