The Foundation for Asian American Independent Media (FAAIM) and the Gene Siskel Film Center present the 13th ANNUAL ASIAN AMERICAN SHOWCASE - April 11 through 24, 2008. This year's theme is "Lucky 13" as we celebrate film and video production by Asian American directors through 13 Chicago-premiere programs and a "Lucky 13"-themed exhibition by Asian American artists in the gallery/café.

Feature Highlights:

Ping Pong Playa, by Academy Award-winning director Jessica Yu. A fast-paced comedy featuring Roger Fan, Smith Cho, and screenwriter Jimmy Tsai, who will be in attendance. (Opening Night spotlight – Friday April 11)
Santa Mesa, by first time feature director Ron Morales. A poignant coming-of-age drama set against the chaotic milieu of Manila street life. (Closing Night spotlight – Thursday April 24)
West 32nd, by Michael Kang (The Motel). An edgy crime drama featuring John Cho and Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica).

Documentary highlights:

The Killing of a Chinese Cookie, a humorous but fact-filled history of the questionably Chinese treat.
Wings of Defeat, in which surviving WWII kamikaze pilots speak of their experiences for the first time. Director Risa Morimoto traces the story of her own uncle, who was forced to volunteer for death.
Never Perfect / Miss Chinatown, USA, these two documentaries examine the cultural pressures on today’s Asian American woman, one through the journey of Mei Ahn who is contemplating cosmetic eyelid surgery and the other follows Katie Au into the Miss Chinatown Pageants.
Against The Grain: An Artist Survival Guide To Peru / Vincent Who?, reinforces how art and activism impacts today’s society, whether it’s the statements made from Peruvian artists struggling during decades of corrupt and inept government leaders, or the shocking murder of Vincent Chin 25 years ago

Chicagoan Highlights:

Someplace Else - An engagingly informal profile of Chicago blues-soul-funk musician Vance Kelly and his Backstreet Blues Band weaves through director Kai-Duc Luong's film journal, extending from his first days in Chicago as a foreign student to his three-year struggle to find his voice as an artist through filmmaking. Extended performance sequences of Kelly and his Backstreet Blues Band at the Checkerboard pose a contrast to the personal and poetic quality of Luong's reflections on Chicago.
SAIC Student Shorts Showcase, a selection of narrative, animated, and experimental shorts by past and present students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Catch Sex Workers or Victims hosted by Lisa Ling

The sex trafficking epidemic has inspired federal legislation to protect young women who are trafficked from other countries. But what about the thousands of young American girls who are coerced into the commercial sex industry each year? In the eyes of the law, these sexually exploited children are criminal sex workers. Lisa Ling investigates this issue, speaking with current and former child prostitutes, riding along with law enforcement officers, and exploring innovative programs that offer young prostitutes a chance at a better life.

Who Cares About Girls? is an ongoing original documentary series dedicated to developing a composite picture of how the world treats young women and inspiring our audience to stand up for girls. The first two installments of the series, Daughters Left Behind and Slave Girls of India, are hosted by award-winning journalist Lisa Ling and produced by National Geographic Television.

Take a look at my blog post on the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. This is sort of a wrap up post in my few days up there. I think one thing that needs to get discussed a bit more is the title of their film festival. As film making continues in the Asian Am world, is the name still applicable? There's beginning to be more and more of the "pan Asian" angle to film making, so there's just a new discussion about the concept of a word that desribes it all. Yes, and for those of you who don't know it, GR has been doing this since day 1. Mixing the two. Hypebeast blog.

Stephen Chow's CJ7 Screening

2008-02-20T23:45:00.000-08:00

The CJ7 screening took place at the Harmony Gold screening room. The line began somewhere around 4pm for a 7:30 screening. Stephen Chow and Xu Jiao are to do a Q and A, and people are excited. The room seats 300+ and that's about how many came though. The line went around the building, and luckily we had enough space for everyone. We've had screenings where we had to turn away 100 people.

The film begins March 7 in LA and NYC.

Here's a link to the Apple trailer.

Artist Luke Chueh on the left.

Checking off names of the many! Thanks for coming out and being part of this event.

Our shortstop. No, not her.

Stephen Chow and Eric Nakamura

That's Xu Jiao. She played a he, and did a great job in the film, and did a great job in the Q and A. She has star written all over her.

The green room.

Martin Wong and Cate Park meets the players. That's a stuffed seahorse, btw.

The Q and A went well. We almost decided to have Martin do the entire Q and A. More him less you might work well, especially with shy Asians in the house, but actually the people did pretty well in asking questions. That's what happens when you bring in the fans and not the totally clueless.

After the Q and A, the main raffle winner became the star. A Stephen Chow signed CJ7. Tons of people photographed him, or actually the plush. He scored.

From Stephen Chow (the director and star of Kung Fu Hustle) comes “CJ7,” a new light-hearted, family comedy featuring Chow’s signature comedy and antics. Within the comedic tone of the film though, there are lessons taught and learned - it is a movie that kids & families can enjoy together.

Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor father who works all day, everyday at a construction site to make sure his son Dicky Chow (Xu Jiao) can attend an elite private school. Despite his father’s good intentions to give his son the opportunities he never had, Dicky, with his dirty and tattered clothes and none of the “cool” toys stands out from his schoolmates like a sore thumb.

Ti can’t afford to buy Dicky any expensive toys and goes to the best place he knows to get new stuff for Dicky – the junk yard! While out “shopping” for a new toy for his son, Ti finds a mysterious orb and brings it home for Dicky to play with. To his surprise and disbelief, the orb reveals itself to Dicky as a bizarre “pet” with extraordinary powers. Armed with his “CJ7” Dicky seizes this chance to overcome his poor background and shabby clothes and impress his fellow schoolmates for the first time in his life. But CJ7 has other ideas and when Dicky brings it to class, chaos ensues.

“CJ7” will be released on Friday, March 7th, 2008. In Chinese with English subtitles. 86 minutes. MPAA Rating – PG.

Catch Slave Girls of India hosted by Lisa Ling

A view from the front lines of the battle against child slavery

Around the globe, over 200 million children are engaged in child labor, often, doing the most brutal or degrading of jobs. Girls are especially vulnerable. Even in countries as wealthy as the United States, girls face harsh lives as victims of sex trafficking or as migrant workers. Journalist Lisa Ling travels to India, the country with the world's largest population of child laborers to expose some of these situations. We’ll hear the stories of girls forced into labor in their own words. We will meet Shweta and Shilpi, two sisters beaten and abused as domestic slaves, Radha, a girl sold into prostitution to keep her father alive, and Rinku, a 19-year-old crusader who’s escaped the brothels and helps others do the same.

Our journey will take us to the front lines in the battle against child slavery.

National Townhall on Hate Crimes

Screening of "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" / Panel on Hate Crimes / Reception
June 19th-30th. Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, Portland, Grand Rapids and more.

In June 1982, Chinese American Vincent Chin was killed in Detroit by two unemployed white autoworkers who had been recently been laid off. This hate crime, motivated by anti-Japanese sentiments, served as a rallying cry for the Asian American community and is often considered the beginning of a pan-Asian American movement.

Twenty five years later, Asian Pacific Americans for Progress and local partners around the country look back in time and assess where we are now. With recent high-profile attacks on Asian Americans in New York, Michigan and Wisconsin, APAP is organizing a series of events throughout the nation around the anniversary of Vincent's murder. Each event will include a special screening of the Academy-Award nominated documentary, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" and panels with local community leaders.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul, production still, UNKNOWN FORCES, 2007, HD/HDV, 4-channel video, courtesy the artist

Gallery at REDCAT, Los Angeles

UNKNOWN FORCES: APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL
Opening reception: April 18, 6 – 9pm
Artist’s talk at 6:30pm
Exhibition dates: April 19 – June 17, 2007

In UNKNOWN FORCES, commissioned by REDCAT, Apichatpong Weerasethakul has invited two of his regular actors – Sakda Kaewbuadee from Tropical Malady, Syndromes and a Century, FAITH, and numerous shorts; and Jenjira Pongpas, from Blissfully Yours, Iron Pussy, and Syndromes and a Century – to travel on a pickup truck along a highway. According to Weerasethakul, “The act is a tribute to our land and our countrymen after the political maelstrom of 2006.” This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S., and the world premiere of the four-channel installation.

Says Weerasethakul, “UNKNOWN FORCES is also for the hard workers and hard drinkers of the northeast, my home region, who are the root of Thailand’s booming real estate. These construction workers are hauled around by contractors from one construction site to another, roaming cities and villages. Thailand’s landscape is shaped by these nomadic souls on pickup trucks. Like many actors I know, the workers have resided in a hierarchic system for so long that they are voiceless and are assigned to be part of an apolitical species…On many occasions I feel I am part of this pickup truck syndrome, fueled by a strange cocktail of politics, monarchy, and religion.”

Internationally recognized for his work in experimental and narrative cinema including Mysterious Objects at Noon (2000), Blissfully Yours (2002), Tropical Malady (2004) and Syndromes and a Century(2006), Weerasethakul’s films explore perception, impermanence, and the imaginary, cultivating fanciful potential within the mundane. Urban, rural, and galactic locations accentuate the aloneness of man in his environment and isolation from others. Abstract interchanges in Weerasethakul’s film and video installations interrogate conventions of the dramatic narrative while exploring desire, reality, and a kind of melancholy perhaps peculiar to our times. His exhibition at REDCAT includes June screenings of several feature and short films in the theater (see schedule below).

Unknown Forces: Apichatpong Weerasethakul is funded in part by the Asian Cultural Council; Camera Corner, Bangkok; North Star World, Bangkok; and Siamlite Film Service, Bangkok. Additional support provided by James Thompson Foundation, Bangkok; R23; and Smallroom, Bangkok.

Weerasethakul Screenings June 4, 6, 8, & 9, 8pm:
