Thai film “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” was named best picture at the fifth Asian Film Awards on Monday in a ceremony overshadowed by the absence of Japanese filmmakers who stayed home in the wake of a deadly earthquake and tsunami.

The Hong Kong International Film Festival Society (HKIFFS) held their gala ceremony tonight for the 5th Asian Film Awards (AFA) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Lisa S, Archie Kao, and Angela Chow hosted the event which had the theme “Let’s Meet Here.” The evening began with prayers being sent to the people of Japan.
