SAN FRANCISCO—NEW WAVE Screening with Director Elizabeth Ai and W. Kamau Bell

November 19 @ 6:00 pm8:00 pm

$12 – $16

SAN FRANCISCO—NEW WAVE screens at the Roxie Theater with an introduction from W. Kamau Bell. A Q&A with Director Elizabeth Ai will follow the screening.

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 Roxie Theater, 3125 16th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
When: Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 6 pm
