DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival Review

It's that time of the year again for the DC APA Film Festival. It's taking place all over DC at venues like Landmark E St. Cinema, GWU, Freer Gallery, Nat'l Museum of Women in the Arts, the Goethe, and AMC Loews on Wisconsin. The festival goes from Sept. 28-Oct. 7.

I've volunteered with the festival for the past 2 years, and I really think that this year's films are better than last year's. Plus, there are a lot more afterparties during the festival this year, most of which are free/discounted if you attend the film screening before it. Most of the events also have free/discounted drinks. Verizon is our big sponsor this year, and that means lots of free goodies. There will be gift certificate givaways to local restaurants at some screenings...and swag bags at others.

My film recommendations for this year's festival:
*Americanese-Opening Night at Landmark
*Sentenced Home-a documentary about Cambodian refugees being deported, at GWU
*Mighty Warrors of Comedy-about an Asian-American comedy troupe in LA, also at GWU
*Queer Shorts on 10/3 at NMWA
*Women's Shorts on 10/4 at NMWA
*Eve & the Fire Horse-Closing Night at AMC Loews on Wisconsin

There are full descriptions/details online so check it out! I hope to see some of you at the screenings or parties!!!
