A4 Presents: Asian Counterfutures
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
2024 / 83min / Digital
“Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) is pleased to partner with Metrograph on a special screening around the topic of Asian Counterfutures. A critical component of our mission is to challenge traditional depictions of Asians and Asian Americans in American cinema as either wholly absent, derogatory, or otherwise misrepresented. This program centers contemporary Asian artists and filmmakers invested in decelerating a future rife with exacerbated inequity. Whether expressing pessimism about humanity in the face of automation or a desire to escape earthly existence altogether, these four short films prompt new questions about where we’re headed.” —Asian American Arts Alliance
