Award-winning filmmakers take a look at how Asian immigrants are characterized in movies past and present. Taking films such as Felicia Lowe’s Carved in Silence (1987) and Arthur Dong’s Sewing Woman (1982), which charts a woman’s journey from an arranged marriage in China to a working-class existence in the U.S., as departure points, they will discuss common misconceptions about Asian immigrants and how these films challenge them.
