November 12: Artist Talk with Edward Gunawan
$5 standard ticket, $10 ticket+suggested donation, $5 sponsor-a-ticket, $50 all access (comes with free t-shirt)
Due to the ongoing pandemic we’re anticipating major revenue shortages for this year’s festival, but, as they say, the show must go on. If you have the means, please consider donating or sponsoring a ticket to help us make up the difference and provide access to the festival for someone in need.

Curated by Wesley Wang and Kenneth Ruan
Purchased tickets provide online access to the film showcase. The artist talk will be streamed to YouTube Live.

Featuring Edward Gunawan, champoy, Odd Folk Films, Movie Boy, Sara Hayden, and Kim Requesto. View artist bios.

Our theme for this year is Embrace. As we continue to social distance and keep each other safe, we are collectively imagining what intimacy and closeness mean. During times of sickness, violence, and injustice, how do we come together in community and in radical care? What do we hold close in our lives and in our art? What do you embrace as you step into your artistic power? Come join the conversation with these emerging Asian Pacific American artists showcasing their work.

Showcase Films: ancestors calling collect (dir. champoy), Sad SAC (dir. Odd Folk Films), White Friends (dir. Movie Boy), Mirror (dir. Sara Hayden), Dahil Sa Isang Bulaklak (dir. Kim Requesto)
