Feature films that moviegoers can view include: Lisa Mao’s A Tale of Three Chinatowns, centerpiece narrative Waikiki, and the documentary feature Who is Lun*na Menoh? BAFF will also host a Filipino Friday, with three Filipino films available for watching, Wherever We May Be, The Girl Who Left Home, and Lumpia with a Vengeance.

The five shorts program includes Altered Realities, Queer & Here, Matutine: Reawaken, Cathemeral: Reorient, and Vespertine: Revitalize.

Tickets range from $10-$12 for each feature length film or shorts program.
