Short, Sharp, Shocks: Panel Talk on Asian and Asian-American Short Filmmaking
New York Asian Film Festival 2024
July 12 - 22, 2024
Meet the fresh voices of Asian cinema in our short film panel and hear how they hijack the short format and turn it into bite-sized epiphanies. These short-form auteurs prove that cinematic dynamite can come in small packages, packing millennial malaise and Gen Z zing into exquisitely crafted mini-epics. Watch as the wunderkinds rub elbows with a few seasoned maestros in a talk that promises to be passionate and illuminating.
