Like Melissa's Slant post, I have embarked on a journey to the Big Apple to experience a film festival myself.The only difference is I wish I were curating it!
I've been in New York since July 4th and let me tell you, watching the fireworks from hundreds of miles up is definitely not as fun. Regardless of the painful, painful trip I took to get here (4 a.m. what?), I am more than excited about the 31st Annual Asian American International Film Festival presented by Asian CineVision, Asia Society, and Toyota Matrix.
Have you secured your passes yet? Hurry, the festival starts on July 10th and runs until the 19th!
If not, check out the official website for all of your festival needs and get your tickets early. There seem to be a lot of great workshops and panels as well, so don't miss out.
I missed out on The Wings of Defeat back in San Francisco and I am determined to catch it this time. Looks like I will be catching The Death of the Fortune Cookie as well. If you can't tell already, I am a sucker for documentaries.
Hopefully I'll meet a lot of you there, as my goals are to sit in on as many screenings as my behind would allow me. Instead of buying me a drink, subscribe for the discount and I'll buy YOU a drink!
This blog entry is graciously sponsored by Toyota Matrix. Check out their Director's Chair website dedicated to the best in Asian American film.
