SFIAAFF ‘09 Student Delegate - “Pausing Life”

Posted March 19, 2009 by Luis in Festival

Biking, walking through San Francisco, and not even in Japantown or Castro, adds to the festival experience. It's an angular city. It's a film in the making. H.P. Mendoza's FRUIT FLY expresses that musically, wonderfully

SFIAAFF ‘09 Student Delegate - “Fruit Fly aka San Francisco: The Musical”

Posted by Luis in Festival

Down at the Castro Theater, the energy emitting from the audience in response to the film was unlike anything I’d ever seen before.

Between Cynicism and Hope by Geraldine Ah-Sue

Posted August 27, 2009 by ckwon in In-Depth

I've been thinking about the idea of suspicion lately. There is a lot to be wary about, and yet the idea of suspicion presents an infinite range of possibility – for the creation of counter-narratives and counter-cultures, for example. I would argue that there must be some slight inkling of suspicion that continues to motivate the work that CAAM does today.
