IN-BETWEEN THE LINES

Filmmakers in attendance. Film program will be followed by Q&A.

Deep gratitude to all of our community organizations for the work that they lead. Special thanks to ANIMASIANS and FilAm Arts for their help in promoting this program.

These frames in motion ask us what’s in the space in-between the lines? Stories of love, loss, and the ties that bind it all back together.
