Rich Brian’s big-screen debut is among the films to be showcased at this year’s Asian American International Film Festival. About the festival: First established by Asian Cinevision in 1978, the Asian American International Film Festival is an annual celebration of the Asian diaspora’s cinematic storytelling tradition. Directed by Justin Chon, “Jamojaya,” the festival’s opening night presentation, focuses on the complex relationship between a rising Indonesian rapper, portrayed by the real-life Indonesian hip hop artist Rich Brian, and his father, who happens to be his manager.
The 45th edition of the festival in New York is showing documentaries from the 1970s to the present day with a political edge, as well as LGBT-themed short films and work in mainstream genres.
Accomplished playwright Alvin Eng’s fluency across cultures and punk rock, theatrical performance, playwriting, and journalism makes for an engaging memoir.
