Discussion | Asian Cinema's American Odyssey


Journey through the world of Asian film distribution in the U.S. with a group of film industry professionals and distributors with first-hand experience in the business. It is a world and a game where arthouse darlings and blockbusters vie for their slice of the American pie. Often, distributing Asians movies seems very much like a game of cultural Tetris, fitting square-peg masterpieces into round-hole multiplexes and foreign film-friendly institutions. Marvel at the alchemy that transforms subtitle-phobia into box office gold. Discover how a once-niche market now rides the Korean Wave to mainstream shores, even as hidden gems still struggle to breach the great wall of audience awareness. Featuring Doris Pfardrescher (President and CEO of Well Go USA), Marcus Hu (Co-President of Strand Releasing), Aliza Ma (programmer at Criterion Channel), Tom Sveen (Cinema Guild), and Jessica Del Mundo (10storyhouse), moderated by Anderson Le (Artistic Director of the Hawaii International Film Festival and Co-Founder of East Films).

Concert | Voices of Peace: Palestinian and Israeli Youth Perform Pop Songs, Traditional Choral Works, and More


“Voices of Peace,” featuring the Jerusalem Youth Chorus is a choral and dialogue program for Palestinian and Israeli youth in Jerusalem singing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.  “In the JYC we have a rare chance to truly hear each other, and that’s what makes the chorus a home for all of us,” says a statement from the members of the JYC. "We know we don’t have the power to single-handedly stop war, but we also know that the reason war continues is because people think there is no alternative. We are the alternative.” The chorus intertwines influences from both East and West, blending Arabic mawwal (vocal improvisation) with classical harmonies, drawing out the Middle Eastern rhythms in everything from pop songs to traditional choral music, with lyrics in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.

Performance | Rheology: Songs and Story


Obie Award-winning writer/director Shayok Misha Chowdhury's recent play, Public Obscenities, was singled out as one of the best theater works of 2023 by The New Yorker. His newest work is a performance memoir created with his mother, the physicist Bulbul Chakraborty. Chakraborty's specialty is the titular science of rheology, the laws governing the malleability and movement of matter under force. Another of her loves is the poetic songs of Bengali composer Rabindranath Tagore. These songs paint glorious pictures about the drama of nature: monsoons produce drum-like thunder claps, rivers let loose their long hair into waterfalls, music flows through generations. Chakraborty learned these songs from her foremothers, then passed them on to Misha. In this concert production of reimagined Tagore compositions, an artist son studies his physicist mother while she studies the strange behavior of sand. Together, they try to understand the science and the story of how things flow. FEATURED MUSICIANS Birsa Chatterjee Dibyarka Chatterjee George Crotty John Murchison Sruti Sarathy
