“We are excited to open with humor and heart in … a moving time capsule of life during COVID.”
Another year, another outstanding lineup for the Boston Asian American Film Festival, which this year “will present 12 film presentations that include both live and recorded filmmaker Q&As as well as five shorts programs which includes the popular Queer & Here series.”
“This year’s festival reflects our adaptation to a COVID world, with offerings both in-person and online, and themes reflective of the diversity of Asian American experiences today,” BAAFF director Susan Chinsen said in a media statement. “We are excited to open with humor and heart in Dealing With Dad and Reyna, and close with a moving time capsule of life during COVID in Bad Axe.”
