SAN RAFAEL—NEW WAVE Screens at Smith Rafael Film Center

SAN RAFAEL—Join filmmaker Elizabeth Ai for a free screening of NEW WAVE at the Smith Rafael Film Center.

NEW WAVE explores the musical phenomenon of the 1980s known to Vietnamese American teens as New Wave. Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai dives into the lives of family members and icons of the New Wave scene, and uncovers much more than a rich musical history.

In the heart of Orange County, California, this counterculture movement takes the youth by storm, becoming a sanctuary for rebellious teens. The fun Euro-synth dance beats and punk/goth aesthetics mask deep traumas—broken dreams and unfulfilled expectations that have shaped her community. 

Where:  Smith Rafael Film Center, 1118 Fourth Street, San Rafael, CA 94901
When: Wednesday, October 23, 7:00 pm
