The names may not be quite as large as they were with the 2008 edition of the HAF - Asia's largest co-production market - when it seemed every Asian director with any sort of name recognition at all had a project represented there, but the projects accepted to the 2009 edition have just been announced and it's an impressive list. Want to know that The Chaser's Na Hong-Jin will be doing next? A little thriller titled The Murderer. Arthouse darling Naomi Kawase? And Protect, Protected. Hansel and Gretel director Im Pil-Sung? The Flower of Evil. Ryoo Seung-Wan, Ning Hao, Jack Neo, Dante Lam ... they've all got new projects in the market this year. Bear in mind that presenting a new project to potential investors in no way guarantees that it'll actually get made but this is a pretty good picture of what Asian film may look like in a year or two.

The full synopses aren't available yet but you can find the complete list here.
