Join the Asian American / Asian Research Institute for a talk on, Queer Asian American Identity in Film, by Andrew Ahn, on Friday, March 17, 2017, from 6pm to 8pm, at 25 West 43rd Street, 10th Floor, Room 1000, between 5th & 6th Avenues, Manhattan. This talk is free and open to the general public.

How does Asian American identity shift or expand when considered in a queer context? What contradictions and conflicts arise? We will explore the intersection between queer and Asian American identities through the personal narratives told both in front and behind the camera in Andrew Ahn’s film work. Through the process of filmmaking, Ahn strives to create an authentically queer Asian American culture. Ahn will screen his short film DOL (FIRST BIRTHDAY) which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012.
