FILMS
The National Festival Tour annually showcases
select feature and short films presented at the Asian American
International Film Festival (AAIFF). This year we offer rental
of more than 50 films from the AAIFF
'08.
FEATURES: FULL-LENGTH NARRATIVE & DOCUMENTARY
The narrative features include two nominees
for the AAIFF '08
Emerging Director in Narrative Feature Award. From newcomers
like Johnny Kwon to emerging talent like Richard Wong, the
creative minds of the filmmakers are duly reflected. The films,
particularly those hailing from abroad, underscore the diversity
in independent Asian/American cinema.

OPTION 3
The strong line-up of documentary features
explore political conflict across the world including AGAINST

by Ann Kaneko, winner of the AAIFF
'08 Emerging Director in Documentary Feature Award.

SHORT PROGRAMS
The art of the short film is a remarkable
feat in that it takes a director only minutes to stir in her
audience the same intrigue that a feature film does in over
an hour. What a short filmmaker can do with a single glance,
word or image proves her ability to alter the entire landscape
of a film with perceptive subtleties. These films—from
narrative, documentary, animation, experimental—make
a compelling case for brevity in filmmaking.
We are especially proud to have on tour the winning film of
the AAIFF '08 Excellence in Short
Filmmaking Award, GOD ONLY KNOWS directed by Mark Reyes
and featured in the Eye
on the Philippines program.
Short films have been curated into the
following thematic programs:
