Get those prioritzing skills in gear—there's a bunch of movie-related stuff happening tomorrow night (Tuesday, May 5).

As part of Arts Safety Week, BC Film and the Commercial Production Assocation of Western Canada are presenting a free panel discussion called "Health and Safety: Why Should I Care?" It's geared towards producers and production managers and will take place at the Vancouver International Film Centre (1181 Seymour Street) from 3 to 5 p.m.

The panel will include Brightlight Pictures producer Shawn Williamson, NBC Universal director of environmental health and safety Paul Jordan, and 20th Century Fox manager of production safety Sion Dettra.

Issues addressed will include what could possibly go wrong, how to avoid it, and how much safety precautions (as well as the lack of) costs.

To attend, send an e-mail to rsvp@shape.bc.ca with "Film Reception" in the subject line.

Later that day, in conjunction with Asian Heritage Month, the second annual New Asia Film Festival kicks off at 6:30 with an evening of Chinese documentaries. Brave Father follows a rural peasant who leaves his land and moves to the city to try to raise money to pay for his son's college tuition. Meanwhile, Game Dream examines the lives of young adults in Beijing who are employed to play video games online. The producer of both films, Ben Tsiang, will be in attend the screening.

Most of the films shown at the festival will be documentaries.

The opening film on Wednesday night is the documentary A State of Mind , a rare, revealing look into the lives of two North Korean schoolgirls who are involved in preparing for the elaborate performances in the country's Mass Games, one of the largest choreographed spectacles.

Other films include dramas from India and Malaysia. For a full list of films and other details, visit the official Web site.

Also on Tuesday, there's a special screening of the film Objectified . This documentary, presented by the B.C Industrial Designer's Association, Association of Canadian Industrial Designers, and GDC British Columbia, takes a look at product designers and the objects that they redesign.

Director Gary Hustwit, who will attend the screening and participate in a post-screening discussion, also directed Helvetica , an examination of the ubiquitous typeface as a means for exploring typography, graphic design, and visual culture.

Although the 6:30 p.m. screening was sold-out, there's been a second screening adding at 9:30 p.m. When I spoke to one of the organizers last week, he said that the second screening was about half sold.

Tickets are $20 ($15 for GDC, BCID, or ACID members) at Rio Theatre (1660 East Broadway).
