Queer Asian World Cinema: QWOCFF Satellite Screening

Submitted by the Event Organizer

OACC is honored to host the Queer Asian World Cinema satellite screening for the 22nd annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival. Experience a dance floor turned into history. A teenager seeing themselves clearly at last. Two best friends holding onto one last summer. A collective built against silence. A body that can’t close its eyes and a desert haunted by water. A girl and her ramen rewriting the West. Love and hurt imagined before birth. A night that pulls two sisters off course. Eight films moving between memory, diaspora, and dream where identity flickers, stretches, and insists on being seen.

This screening is presented by Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project-QWOCMAP in partnership with the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC), and Visual Communications in Los Angeles.
