16th Annual Asian American Film Series (Night 2)
Join us for night two of our sixteenth-annual Asian American Film Series at the historic Alhecama Theatre for a screening of 'Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement' and 'Third Act.'
'Nobuko Miyamoto: A Song in Movement' tells the story of a changing community through one of its most beloved storytellers as she reflects on decades of groundbreaking cultural work and a life that has bridged coasts, industries, families, and history. (2024, 57 min)
In 'Third Act', father and son, Asian American filmmakers Robert and Tadashi Nakamura use their shared medium to explore generational trauma, expressing previously silenced emotions. (2025, 93 min)
A short intermission reception will take place between film screenings.
Q&A with filmmaker Tadashi Nakamura will follow the second screening.
