My head is swimming. The festival moved down south this weekend to downtown San Jose and talk about an entirely different experience from San Francisco.

SFIAAFF '09 Student Delegate – a few days later after midterm mania, closing night
I seem to focus heavily on the big pieces (besides FRUIT FLY), opening night’s MY DEAR ENEMYand last night’s closing feature, TREELESS MOUNTAIN. But anyhow, the story follows two sisters whose mother leaves them behind and they’re left to take care of themselves.

SFIAAFF '09 Student Delegate – day 3: LIVERPOOL THRASHED MANU 4-1 or documentary day
Today’s agenda consisted of me running up Post street. It was cold, the wind was blowing into my face, and it was uphill; I felt like I was jogging in place. And more forgetfulness on my point to take any pictures. Geez.
SFIAAFF '09 Student Delegate – day 4: in which broken record was on repeat
Van! You gotta get all those pictures to us somehow! Because I got none! Also, thank you THANK YOU to CAAM for taking care of all our meetings with the filmmakers, covering our cab cost, our food/drinks cost…pretty much everything. You guys are made of many MANY awesome-beans.
SFIAAFF '09 Student Delegate – Silence, Love
I’m writing this from my uncle-in-law’s house in San Leandro, squeezing in some time with my fourth aunt and her daughter, visiting from Arizona. In the hour after I arrived at San Leandro’s BART station shortly before 10 PM, my aunt called my fifth aunt and her children in Seattle, talked about her health, my fourth aunt’s health, my grandmother’s health, then called my grandfather in Saigon’s Chinatown.
SFIAAFF '09 Student Delegate – Fruit Fly
FRUIT FLY, oh how I could sing your praises for hours! So where do I begin? Okay… so I’ll admit that I’m a bit bias. I’ve been a big fan of H.P. Mendoza’s work since I saw COLMA last year for a class.

Memoirs of a Superfan, Vol. 4.3: A Short Course in Shorts
Like a fetus in a womb, I’ve been snuggled into my stadium seat in a dark Kabuki theater. Absorbing, reflecting, enjoying. This festival does nurture me and many others, as does its parent organization, CAAM. SFIAAFF brings the life of Asia and Asian America to you through the powerful umbilical cord of film.
