Join us for a special screening of short films Flight 182 and Zari, both films are grantees and winners of the Julia S. Guow Short Film Challenge for Asian American and Pacific Islander Women and Non-Binary Filmmakers, presented by CAPE. Flight 182 follows a Punjabi father who must choose between caring for his ailing mother in India or protecting his family in Canada amid separatist warnings. In Zari, amidst preparations for her sister’s wedding in India, young American Neelu forges an unexpected connection with Zeyb, a quiet sari store clerk with a secret.

Both filmmakers will be with us for a discussion with Michelle Meow and Michelle Sugihara, the executive director of CAPE.
