This February, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center in partnership with UCLA Film & Television Archive will continue to celebrate the legacy of Asian American Studies at UCLA with a virtual film festival! Over two weekends, we will present online programming featuring powerful imagery and poignant commentary about meaningful issues facing Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. Audiences will hear from filmmakers and actors on their creative journeys, as well as from scholars, artists, and community leaders on themes that apply to today's world. Stay tuned as we announce programming details, including featured films and special discussions with filmmakers, actors, scholars, in the next couple of weeks! We will post updates on our website here. Thank you to everyone who joined us this past March for our 50th Anniversary Film Festival! As many of you know, our celebrations were cut short due to the pandemic. You can read a recap of that jam-packed weekend in our annual CrossCurrents.
