CULVER CITY—Join us for a screening of NEW WAVE at The Culver Theater as part of the Asian World Film Festival (AWFF). Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai embarks on a journey to capture the vibrant spirit of a musical phenomenon that electrified Vietnamese American teens in the 1980s: New Wave. What begins as an exploration of the rebellion and freedom within this subculture evolves into a profound narrative of identity, loss, and healing. In Orange County, California, the synth beats and punk/goth aesthetics provided a sanctuary for a generation of youth grappling with the weight of their parents’ unspoken traumas.
Where: The Culver Theater – Auditorium 6, 9500 Culver Blvd, Culver City, 90232
When: Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 3:30 pm
