SUMMARY:AAIFF Film: Love Massacre 4K Restoration
DESCRIPTION:This film will be screened in-person only. Asian American International Film Festival is the nation’s first and longest running festival of its kind and the premier showcase for the best independent Asian\, Asian diaspora and Pacific Islander cinema \nPotluck Asian America readers can use promo code AAIFF49_NYCAAR for 20% off all ticket \nSet in the United States and written by Joyce Chan\, LOVE MASSACRE follows college student Ivy (Brigitte Lin) as she tries to help her friend Joy\, who is depressed and delirious after a breakup. Ivy soon becomes involved with Joy’s married brother\, Chu Chung. Suffering from a hereditary mental illness\, Chung eventually spirals into violence as he breaks into Ivy’s dormitory and goes on a killing spree. \nThis unsettling\, visually striking Hong Kong New Wave gem — thanks to William Chang’s debut as art director — exudes an experimental spirit\, uses bold colours to express emotion on screen\, and transforms Lin’s image as the golden girl of Taiwanese romantic dramas. \nContent warning: blood/gore\, death\, self-harm/suicide\, violence \n\nPatrick Tam started his career in television at TVB. The first feature film he directed was THE SWORD (1980)\, an innovative wuxia film that helped usher in the era of the Hong Kong New Wave. His knack for visual flair continued to flourish in LOVE MASSACRE (1981)\, NOMAD (1982)\, and FINAL VICTORY (1987). He was awarded Best Director and Best Screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards for AFTER THIS OUR EXILE (2006).

SUMMARY:Film: A Tale of Two Sisters (장화\, 홍련)
DESCRIPTION:A Tale of Two Sisters (장화\, 홍련)\nDirector: Kim Jee-woon \nFriday\, August 7th\, 2026 at 9:00 PM \nSynopsis: In a remote rural village\, at the end of a quiet country road lined with wildflowers\, stands a solitary Japanese-style wooden house. By day\, the house is picturesque enough to seem as though the sound of a piano might drift from its windows. But when darkness falls\, it takes on a chilling and ominous presence. \nIt is in this house\, steeped in an unsettling atmosphere\, that two beautiful sisters\, Su-mi and Su-yeon—neither quite children nor adults—begin living with their elegant yet emotionally volatile stepmother. From the day they move in together\, a terrifying family ghost story begins to unfold. \nAfter returning home from a lengthy stay in Seoul for treatment\, the sisters are warmly welcomed by their stepmother\, Eun-joo. Despite her apparent affection\, the girls clearly feel uneasy around her. From their very first day back\, strange occurrences begin to plague the household. Family members experience disturbing visions and suffer from recurring nightmares. \nDetermined to care for her younger sister and her father\, Moo-hyeon\, in place of their deceased mother\, Su-mi takes on the role of protector. Su-yeon\, who bears a striking resemblance to her late mother\, lives in constant fear. Tensions quickly escalate between the sensitive and unstable Eun-joo and the two sisters\, while their father remains a passive observer of the growing conflict. \nAs Eun-joo’s emotional instability deepens and fear begins to consume the household\, Su-mi struggles desperately to protect her sister. Meanwhile\, a series of increasingly bizarre and terrifying events unfolds throughout the house… \nTickets: Free (RSVP Required)

SUMMARY:Dreamer's Perspective: Through My Lens
DESCRIPTION:For the third year in a row\, the Center for All Abilities (CAA) is hosting a summer arts showcase\, dedicated to platforming the art of neurodivergent and special needs individuals. This year’s show\, “Dreamer’s Perspective: Through My Lens\,” is focused on portraits\, self-portraits\, and reflections of self-identity — how you see yourself\, how you move through the world\, and what makes you who you are. We encourage artists to share work that reflects personal experience\, perception\, and the many ways people navigate and express their inner worlds. This exhibition aims to create a space for thoughtful\, authentic\, and expansive representations of selfhood and lived experience. \nThe Center for All Abilities is a nonprofit based in Manhattan’s Chinatown which serves as a supportive resource for the special needs community\, particularly among Chinese immigrant families. We provide creative arts therapy\, vocational training\, and community-based programming and workshops to support the whole family. \nThis exhibition is in collaboration with Long Story Short Galleries\, which generously provides their venue and support. The show is also in partnership with Extreme Kids and Crew\, a nonprofit which provides a welcoming\, supportive space for young people with disabilities\, their families and friends\, to connect\, create and learn.

SUMMARY:Images of America: Chinese in Tehama County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar on Images of America: Chinese in Tehama County with Jessica Chew. During the California Gold Rush\, Red Bluff emerged as one of Northern California’s most important transportation hubs. Called the “head of navigation” on the Sacramento River\, travelers\, merchants\, miners\, loggers\, and agricultural workers journeyed here and continued north in California\, seeking their fortunes. Chinese immigrants established a thriving Chinatown that served as a center of economic development providing lodging for seasonal workers\, employment opportunities\, banking\, and correspondence services that linked laborers to their families in China. \nJessica will share insights from her research into her family history\, uncovering historical records\, newspaper archives\, family photographs and recording oral history interviews. She will describe how forgotten family stories were pieced together to illustrate the history of Red Bluff’s Chinatown. Her presentation will demonstrate how genealogy research can help bring forgotten communities back to life\, preserve stories before they are lost\, and reconnect families with a shared heritage spanning more than 150 years. \nDate: Saturday\, August 8\, 2026\, Time: 10:00 AM (US Pacific Time)/ 1PM EST \nVenue (online): Zoom \nJessica Chew is the founder of the Helen and Joe Chew Foundation and the only grandchild of Joe You Chew\, a Chinese American born in Red Bluff\, California’s Historic Chinatown in 1921. As a sixth generation Chinese American whose family immigrated to America in 1865 as herbalist’s physicians\, Jessica is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of Red Bluff’s Chinatown and its importance as the last steamboat stop on the Sacramento River during the Gold Rush.

SUMMARY:Masters of Sleep Launch Party with Jianan Qian\, Alyssa Asquith & Na Zhong
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the launch of Masters of Sleep and Other Stories! \nAccent Editions is delighted to celebrate the publication of Masters of Sleep and Other Stories by Zhu Yue. Please join translators Jianan Qian @jianan_qian and Alyssa Asquith @alyssajasquith \, along with editor Na Zhong @sweetmedicine_nz \, for an evening of conversation exploring Zhu Yue’s uncanny\, witty\, and unforgettable fiction. Together\, they will discuss the collaborative process of translation\, the book’s literary world\, and what it means to bring one of China’s most distinctive contemporary voices to English-language readers. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. \nOriginally published in China in 2006\, Zhu’s stories take the reader on a mind-bending\, wildly imaginative journey where eccentric and magical characters embark on quests\, confront paradoxes\, travel to distant planets\, master esoteric arts\, fall in love\, and escape death. \nA gloriously innovative and versatile writer\, Zhu Yue playfully interrogates many so-called “Western” ideals and values: What is the value of invention if it has no practical use? How much of ourselves are we willing to sacrifice for wealth and greatness? And to what extent is a person’s physical existence a sufficient expression of their individuality? \nPoster: Jingyi He
