The 11th annual Austin Asian American Film Festival will feature a slate of 11 feature films and 17 shorts from Asian and Asian American filmmakers. This year’s centerpiece presentation is Empty By Design, a U.S./Philippines co-production exploring what it feels like to be lost as a young adult, torn between multiple countries and lives. Director Andrea A. Walter, along with several cast and crew members, will be in attendance for an extended conversation after the film.
Other featured films include Nadia Shihab’s Jaddoland, which examines the intersections between her hometown of Lubbock, and her family’s homeland, Iraq; Laura Asherman’s profile of stand-up comedian Tushar Singh, American Hasi; and Deann Liem’s profile of four transnational Korean adoptees, Geographies of Kinship.
