With less than a week away, I am looking forward to attending the Center for Asian American Media’s Film Festival, better known as CAAMFest. As a Jeremy Lin fan, I’m of course looking forward to seeing LINSANITY, the documentary, which has been covered extensively with generally rave reviews. But I’m also looking forward to the open night party at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum as well. There is plenty going on, as CAAMFest 2013’s tagline is: Film. Music. Food – be sure to check out http://caamfest.com/2013/
As for the other films besides LINSANITY, there are a bunch of films and documentaries, including:
Seeking Asian Female. Fellow 8asians blogger Dino-Ray had seen and reviewed the documentary at SXSW, but I haven’t had a chance to see it yet.
Xmas Without China, a documentary about a family seeing if it can survive one month without Chinese goods during Christmas.
And I’ve always had a fascination with North Korea, and discovered that Comrade Kim Goes Flying, a fictional film (not a documentary), the first in thirty years to do so. I’ve seen and own on DVD the documentary film on North Korea, A State of Mind.
There’s also the modern day feature film, Someone I Used to Know, about “Three former high-school friends reunite for a long Los Angeles night in Nadine Truong’s bittersweet drama, a new-millennium remix of such classic eighties’ ensemble dramas as The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s Fire.” that looks intriguing.
I need to check out the CAAMFest schedule more carefully to see what other films I might want to see, as well as some events like Asian Chops (PBS Food Show), Ready, Set, Pitch, and (Bitter)Sweet: Cook Salon. Hope to see you at CAAMFest 2013!
