New discoveries, faded memories, and forged partnerships form the connective tissue that comprise this new meeting of works produced by VC’s Armed With a Camera Fellowship for Emerging Artists and UCLA’s Center for Ethnocommunications. By far our most boundary pushing group of films to date, this is a not-to-be-missed annual event. As has been shown in recent years, we encourage one and all to get real acquainted with this year’s crop of filmmakers: some of them may very well return again soon with full-length feature films to the LA Asian Pacific Film Festival.
