an hour of short subjects when the Chinese American Film Festival takes over
the Barth Community Room at Crowell Public Library, Wednesday, November 29th
at 6:00 p.m. Among the titles: “Chinese Dream,” a documentary about classical
Chinese opera being learned by the next generation of children; “Citizen,” where
a border patrol officer faces a tough decision as her sister is deported while
pregnant, “Wishing Box,” a pirate and his monkey find a magic box, but it only
operates for the monkey; “Butterflies in the Dark,” a blind woman interacts
with a device-fixated little girl.
Chinese American Film Festival (CAFF) was founded
in 2005 by EDI Media Inc. (USA). It is the most authoritative and influential
annual Chinese American cultural event connecting two of world’s largest film
markets. Every year in November CAFF hosts its Opening Ceremony and Golden
Angel Award in Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world. Hundreds of
top box office films from China and the US participate in CAFF, of which the
Top 10 are selected and awarded with the Golden Angel, named after the city of
Los Angeles.
CAFF is the only Chinese American cultural event in
the United States that is officially recognized by both the U.S. and Chinese
governments. In 2014, it became the only China-US film festival recorded in the
5th Round of China-US High-level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange and
Cultural Activities as a national event. CAFF is also the only China-US film
cultural event formally written in the U.S. Congressional report, as part of
U.S. History.
During the month of November, CAFF showcases over 700
feature films in over 20 screening locations in Hollywood, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and other cities, with over 2,300 total number of screenings.
Don’t miss this free opportunity to watch some very
special films.
