THE DOORS JUST OPENED UP TO THE PUBLIC.

THEY ARE HERE TO SEE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF MIKE LEVIN.

THE STATEMENT DECLARED "SHAME ON MIKE LEVIN WHO VOTES AND LOCKS UP WITH A FIELD BIDEN AGENDA 100% OF THE TIME, AND BRIAN MARRIOTT HAS FOUND MOMENTUM AND IS RESONATING WITH VOTERS BECAUSE HE IS OFFERING SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES CALIFORNIANS ARE FACING."

THE WEEK BEFORE WAS NEARLY 7.1% .

THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THAT HIGH IN TWO DECADES.

MORTGAGE RATES HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED SINCE THE START OF 2022, THE MAJOR RISE WAS LARGELY FUELED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S DECISION TO RAISE INTEREST RATES AS A WAY TO FIGHT SOARING INFLATION.

LOWER TEMPERATURES, LOOK AT OCEANSIDE, 39 DEGREES, SAN DIEGO IS DOWN TO 49, BORREGO SPRINGS IS 44, MT.

LAGUNA IS 29 DEGREES FOR YOUR OVERNIGHT LOW.

GET READY FOR THE COOL AIR.

TOMORROW IS STILL FEELING MORE LIKE DECEMBER INSTEAD OF EARLY NOVEMBER.

LOOK AT THIS COOL AIR FOR THE ENTIRE STATE.

TO THE EAST, TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING ABOUT 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

THE CHILL IN THE AIR IS TO WRAP UP OUR WEEK.

LOOKING AT OUR HIGHS TOMORROW, WE ONLY GO UP TO 70 FOR OCEANSIDE, 69 FOR SAN DIEGO, 73 IN EUREKA SPRINGS, MT.

LAGUNA ONLY GETTING TO 55 DEGREES WITH PLENTY SOME SUN ON THE WAY AS WE WRAP UP THE WEEK.

>>> THE 23rd ANNUAL ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL KICKS OFF TONIGHT.

IT WILL SHOWCASE 130 FILMS FROM 30 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS.

KPBS CINEMA JUNKIE BACK OKAMOTO HAS THIS PREVIEW.

>> I FELL IN LOVE WITH HONG KONG CINEMA IN THE 80s AND 90s.

I WATCHED THEM ON VHS TAPES THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS.

THESE INTOXICATING FIELDS, SO MUCH ENERGY AND DELIRIOUS INSANITY, I COULD NOT RESIST THEM.

IN THE HEROIC TRIO, MICHELLE ENGAGES IN HIGHFLYING ACTION, PLUS THERE IS A PLOT TO KIDNAP BABIES AND SEXY FEMALE SUPERHEROES TO HAVE THE VILLAINS.

>> THE TRIO AND EXECUTIONERS, THESE ARE NOT FILMS YOU WOULD THINK OF WORLD CINEMA, BUT THEY ARE.

THESE ARE THE LARGEST 1990S HONG KONG ACTION MOVIES, NOT NECESSARILY IN TERMS OF BREATHTAKING ACTIONS, BUT THESE ARE DERANGED.

>> Reporter: BOTH FILMS RECEIVED FOR K RESTORATIONS AND WILL STREAM AS THE CLASSICS RESTORED.

THAT IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE PROGRAM.

IT IS DIVERSE LIKE A CAREFULLY CURATED MIX TAPE WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

>> I THINK MIX TAPES ARE FOR THE PEOPLE MAKING THE MIX TAPE.

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THAT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT SPOKE TO ME.

THIS IS LIKE 2022 AND THIS IS WHAT GAVE ME LIFE.

THAT IS IN PRISON DURING VISITS.

IT IS A VERY JAPANESE WAY.

>> Reporter: AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND MIGHT NOT BE THE FIRST COUNTRIES PEOPLE THINK OF FINDING AT A ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL, BUT THEY BELONG.

THIS YEAR, BRIAN HU HAD A SERIES CALLED "WE ARE STILL HERE."

>> IT IS LIKE CAPTAIN COOK'S ARRIVAL IN PACIFIC ISLANDS AS A SPARK TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HAVING A VOICE, BUT THAT CASCADES INTO TALKING ABOUT ANTI-COLONIAL EXISTENCE, AND THAT TURNS INTO A INCREDIBLE IMAGINING OF WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

>> Reporter: WE ARE STILL HERE STILL HIGHLIGHTS NEW FILMMAKERS, BUT THE MASTER SHOWCASES VETERAN FILMMAKERS.

>> HE IS BEST KNOWN AS ONE OF THE FILMMAKERS TARGETED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR BEING OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THINGS LIKE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

HE IS CONSTANTLY BEING PUT ON HOUSE ARREST.

AFTER HE MADE HIS NEW FILM, WHICH IS WHAT HAS BEEN SHOWING, HE HAS BEEN DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF ARTISTS.

HIS FILMS ARE SORT OF ABOUT THAT, BUT NOT REALLY ABOUT THAT.

I THINK HE IS SAVVY LIKE LET'S NOT DIRECTLY TACKLE THESE QUESTIONS, BUT HOW DO WE USE ALLEGORY OR TALK ABOUT FREEDOM IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF WAYS IF THEY ARE ALL CODED?

>> Reporter: THERE IS A CHINESE COMEDY ABOUT A MOVIE EXTRA WHO HAS DELUSIONS OF BEING A GREAT ACTOR, WHICH MAKES HIM THE PERFECT STOOGE FOR A FILM COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO DO WITH INTERFERENCE.

>> WHAT IF WE HAVE THE EXTRA AND WE CAST HIM IN A MOVIE AND WE TELL HIM THAT THIS IS ALL PRETEND, JUST HOLD THIS GUN AND WE WILL BE SAFE, ACTION.

WE CAN TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.

YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE GREATEST ACTOR IN THE WILL.

THE PROBLEM IS THE GREATEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD WILL SOMETIMES CHANGE THE SCENE.
