PANEL DISCUSSION AND SCREENING: SEX, VIOLENCE, AND ROBOTS:
THE NEXT WAVE OF ASIAN AMERICAN CINEMA Justin Lin's groundbreaking film BETTER
LUCK TOMORROW made history at the Sundance Film Festival and as
MTV Films' first-ever acquisition, and now you can buy the film on DVD
at almost any retailer across the country. But in the wake of BLT,
what is the current state of Asian American film? We'll start
things off with a look at BLT GENESIS, Evan Leong's
behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of BLT and its
journey to Sundance and beyond. Then join us for a
lively discussion as a panel of filmmakers discusses where we go
from here.
FILMS:
