With SFIAAFF 2010 fast approaching, we here at CAAM thought it’d be an opportune time to look back and pay a visit to some of the featured films and artists from our last festival, and to catch up with them about the progress of their films since SFIAAFF 2009.
Stay tuned for our program release on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, announcing the line-up of feature films, documentaries, shorts programs, and panel discussions.
Live Octopus, A Giant Mall, and a Gazillion Movies (well, not exactly). SFIAAFF Program Manager Christine Kwon chronicles her first trip to the “Cannes of Asia, the Pusan International Film Festival.
SFIAAFF, the nation’s largest showcase for new Asian American and Asian films, is now accepting submissions for its 28th festival. Submit early and save on submission fees!
The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (March 12 – 22, 2009), presented by the Center for Asian American Media, wrapped with an estimated attendance of over 25,000, including over 200 filmmakers, actors and industry guests.
The Festival is pleased to announce the winners of its two juried competitions for Best Narrative Feature and Best Documentary Feature, and the winners of its Comcast Audience Award.
Check out the videos shot by your fellow festival fans! Using video cameras rented out by CAAM, the festivalgoers became filmmakers, capturing their own perspectives on different people and events at the 2009 SFIAAFF Festival Forum.
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.
Congratulations to EVERETT CHAN, grand prize winner of the Best Fest Photo Contest! Everett wins two roundtrip tickets to Las Vegas, a three night stay at the Wynn Las Vegas and a $500 Macy’s shopping spree, courtesy of Southwest Airlines, Wynn Las Vegas and Macy’s!
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.
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.
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.
