Short, Sharp, Shocks: Panel Talk on Asian and Asian-American Short Filmmaking

Short, Sharp, Shocks: Panel Talk on Asian and Asian-American Short Filmmaking

July 13, 2024
Film Center Amphitheater
80 minutes

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.
