MAGICAL MESSAGES: WE WERE MADE FOR THESE TIMES
Directed by Kirthi Nath
Anchored from the perspective of a Desi woman living in the United States, Magical Messages: We Were Made For These Times is a short experimental documentary film that reclaims South Asian traditions of yoga, Buddhism and earth based mysticism for a poetic and intersectional feminist meditation on wisdom, collective healing and women of color solidarity movements.
SAFE AMONG STARS
Directed by Jess X. Snow
In this atmospheric short, a queer Chinese American woman struggles to tell her immigrant mother and her partner the reason why she left school. Using her powers, she teleports into her own galaxy where no violence can touch her.
REPRESENTATION
Directed by JJ Querubin
An intimate poem that takes audiences on a journey of the misrepresenting labels of Asian Americans.
