Minneapolis and St. Paul - and the whole state as well - this one's for you. A whole film festival dedicated to Asian and Asian American film -- because it's finally time something like this got off the ground (and I'll be posting more on it later).
Thirty films, over a dozen countries, panels, and some kick ass filmmakers who'll be coming down for some Q & A's - the first one isn't always easy - and from what I understand it came about pretty quick (literally in a few months getting multiple organizations involved and on the same page) - but it's looking like it should be a kick ass time - so Twin Cities, like I said already - this one's for you - so get on out and enjoy it.
Some of the highlights
Definitely want to check out the Asian American program which is going to have the following feature films:
