The Boston Asian American Film Festival is October 19th - 22nd! If you haven’t heard of or attended BAAFF before, it's produced by the Asian American Resource Workshop, a member-based organization that seeks to document the diverse Asian Pacific American histories, experiences, and social conditions.
There will be 25+ films screened over the course of 4 days, and this year we are co-presenting two short films by Filipino-American filmmakers!
The first is Distance directed by Craig Nisperos, which will be screened on Friday October 20, 2017 at 7:00PM.
From the BAAFF website:
“Distance is a modern day immigration story that focuses on a man’s struggle with being away from his family, his home.”
For $1 off Friday’s screening of Distance (6 other short films will be shown as well!), use the code BOSFilipinos2017. Tickets and film summaries can be viewed by clicking here.
The second film is The Second Province directed by Zorinah Juan, which will be screened on Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 3:15PM.
From the BAAFF website:
“Two estranged Filipino-American siblings are forced to reunite when their offbeat mother elects death with dignity.”
