SUMMARY:Chinese American Experiences in History and Short Films: A Traveling Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join 1882 Foundation for the first installment of our traveling seminars. Seminars feature short documentary film screenings\, expert speakers\, discussions of key historical themes\, and lesson plans for educators. The first session is geared towards teachers and the second session towards the general public (though all are welcome to attend either). The seminars will shed light on the Chinese American experience\, what it means to be American\, and why that story and that of all Asian Americans must be told. \n\nFIRST SESSION: Recruited\, Excluded\, and (sort of) Included: the Asian American Experience seen through short films\nAug. 29\, 12:30 to 3:30 PM\nArlington County Teachers Workshop\nArlington Traditional School\n855 N. Edison St.\nArlington\, VA 22206 \n\nChinese came to America looking for “Gold Mountain” in the 1850s and then to build the Transcontinental Railroad. But in 1882 and for 60 years after\, Chinese Americans and later all Asians were not allowed into the U.S. and denied citizenship if already here. Fitting into American life was especially difficult given this legacy of exclusion. Teachers will explore this history and view two contemporary short films. “Through Chinatown’s Eyes: April 1968” is about the Washington\, DC riots following Martin Luther King’s assassination and its impact on Chinatown. “Finding Cleveland” follows a young Los Angeles man seeking his Chinese roots and unexpectedly finds himself tracing the path of his father and grandfather to Cleveland\, Miss. in the heart of the Jim Crow south. A panel discussion will follow with filmmakers Lisa Mao and Larissa Lim and noted scholars Janelle Wong (University of Maryland) and Krystyn Moon (University of Mary Washington). Teachers will also receive lessons addressing the history of exclusion and issues of identity raised by the films. \nSpeakers/Panelists: Janelle Wong (U. of Maryland)\, Krystyn Moon (U. of Mary Washington)\, Larissa Lam (filmmaker of Finding Cleveland)\, Lisa Mao (filmmaker of Through Chinatown’s Eyes: April 1968) \n\nSECOND SESSION: Recruited\, Excluded\, and (sort of) Included: the Asian American Experience seen through short films\nAug. 29\, 7:00 to 9:00 PM\nOpen to the Community\nKenmore Middle School\n200 S. Carlin Springs Rd.\nArlington\, VA 22204\n \n\nIn the evening\, we will be showing the same two films but with a different perspective: how do changing communities such as Arlington build on the strengths of their individual communities (Asian\, Latino\, Black\, and White). The idea here is to for people to understand how important it is for all the communities to get to know each other and their history. Panelists include Samir Meghelli\, (Curator\, Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum)\, Marya McQuirter (DC 1968 Project) and Larissa Lam \nAgain\, the seminars will need to be tailored to each venue\, but this may give you a few ideas. The films I would like to use in Norfolk are Finding Samuel Lowe and Finding Cleveland. “Finding Samuel Lowe” is longer – by Paula Madison runs 40 minutes but is excellent. We showed it in DC at our annual 1882 Symposium. It’s about three African American siblings\, one of them Paula\, who grew up in Harlem with their Chinese/Jamaican mother. They follow a trail to Jamaica\, Toronto\, and then to China to learn about their Chinese grandfather. At the critical juncture of venturing off to China\, Paula’s husband asks her\, “What do you expect? You know you’re Black?” She laughs and says\, “I know I’m Black! I expect that because I am their family and they are my family\, we’ll be family… I know that I am a Lowe\, and they will want me as much as I want them.” \n\nOur events are free and open to all. For questions\, or to get involved\, please contact Ting-Yi Oei at tyoei66@gmail.com. \nClick here for general flyer!

SUMMARY:"Abacus: Small Enough to Jail" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Support our network and attend this weekend’s screening of Abacus: Small Enough to Jail\, a PBS Frontline documentary about the Sung family’s fight for justice. There are several screenings available but please check E Street Cinema’s website for up to date information. \nIn the financial crisis of 2008 depicted in The Big Short\, when giant banks using questionable loan practices were bailed out for billions because they were “too big to fail\,” only one financial institution was indicted for mortgage fraud: the small\, family-run Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown in New York. Owned by the Chinese-American Sung family and serving mainly the Chinese-American immigrant community\, they were targeted by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. for fraud. The indictment and subsequent trial forced the Sung family to defend themselves and their bank’s legacy in the Chinatown community over the course of a grueling five-year legal battle. Master documentarian Steve James (Life Itself\, The Interrupters\, Hoop Dreams) was there to record the thrilling\, maddening\, nerve-wracking fight. Along the way he creates an in-depth portrait of the close-knit Sung family: the dignified elderly father who founded the bank in the 1980s to serve his community\, his loyal wife whose favorite movie is It’s a Wonderful Life\, and their two eldest daughters\, smart and tough\, who currently run the bank. An absorbing\, suspenseful true life saga. \n  \nQ&As\nFriday\, June 23 @ 7:30pm\nQ&A with Director Steve James and members of the Sung Family (Mr. and Mrs. Sung\, Vera\, Chanterelle)\n\nSaturday\, June 24 @ 7:30pm\nQ&A with Director Steve James and members of the Sung Family (Mr. and Mrs. Sung\, Jill\, Vera\, Chanterelle and Heather)\n\nSunday\, June 25 @ 1pm\nQ&A with Director Steve James\n \nAdditional Showtimes\nFriday 6/23\n1:30\, 4:30\, 7:30*\, 9:50\n\nSaturday 6/24\n11:00am\, 1:30\, 4:30\, 7:30*\, 9:50\n\nSunday\, 6/25\n11:00am\, 1:30*\, 4:30\, 7:30\, 9:50\n\nMonday 6/26–Thursday6/29\n1:30\, 4:30\, 7:30\, 9:50

SUMMARY:Finding KUKAN - SF Premiere
DESCRIPTION:West Coast premiere of the feature documentary FINDING KUKAN\, directed by Robin Lung. \nFilmmaker Robin Lung investigates the case of Li Ling-Ai\, the un-credited female producer of KUKAN\, a landmark color film that revealed the atrocities of World War II China to American audiences. KUKAN has the rare honor of being the first ever American feature documentary to receive an Academy Award® in 1942. \nLost for decades\, Lung discovers a badly damaged film print of KUKAN\, and pieces together the never before told inspirational tale of the two renegades behind the making of it — Li Ling-Ai and cameraman Rey Scott. \nFINDING KUKAN uses rare and unseen archival footage to create an unforgettable portrait of a female filmmaking pioneer\, and sheds light on the long history of racial and gender discrimination behind the camera\, which continues to reverberate in Hollywood today. \n“Totally absorbing.” Louis Proyect (Rec Arts)\n“Amazing.” “If you love movies or history see this film.” Steve Kopian (Unseen Films)\n“4 stars” John Soltes (Hollywood Soapbox)\nWinner – Best Documentary\, Special Jury Award\, Hawaii International Film Festival 2016\nOfficial Selction – DOC NYC 2016
