This month, NewFilmmakers Los Angeles brings a collection of unique stories via two programs of Asian and South Asian independent films.

Starting with a displaced Japanese American family trying to rebuild after World War II, two brazen brothers in rural China learning about Karma from a wily monk, a fearful barber in India learns to forgive, to an unscrupulous young man in Korea receiving a twisted form of justice, these stories represent the most exciting indie cinema emerging from that corner of the globe as well as our featured Asian American filmmakers.

Join us in celebrating these amazing storytellers with eight spectacular films followed by filmmakers Q&A’s, and open bar receptions atop the AT&T Center’s outdoor balcony.
