ABOUT THE EVENT: The American Cinematheque is proud to present a special night of short films spotlighting AAPI women filmmakers. As part of our ongoing ‘Here’s to Her!’ series focused on femme filmmakers, join us for intentional time to celebrate works from the community during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Joining us for this screening are Maegan Houang with “Astonishing Little Feet“, Rey Tang with “Noodles & Incense“, Kristine Gerolaga with “Concealer“, Mimi Lee with “Moonchild“, and Eurie Chung with “I Can’t Keep Quiet.” From a reimagining of the first documented Chinese woman to arrive in the United States, to a documentary short following the “one woman riot” behind the Women’s March anthem, to a horror exploring the frightening nature of multi-level-marketing schemes, there is something for everyone.
