Pacific Arts Movement is thrilled to unveil the dynamic and inspiring film lineup for the 13th Annual San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) Spring Showcase. Taking place at Ultrastar Cinemas in Mission Valley, San Diego, from April 18 to 25, 2024, this year's showcase promises a diverse film line-up spanning over 8 days. Audiences will enjoy a curated selection of 15+ films hailing from China, Hong Kong, Iran, South Korea, and beyond. Among the highlights is a four-film retrospective, Through Tibetan Eyes: the Films of Pema Tseden, honoring the late Tibetan filmmaker Pema Tseden, offering viewers a poignant journey into the modern Tibetan identity through the lens of cinematic mastery. Kicking off the festival on April 18 is the dramedy "The Queen of My Dreams," a nostalgic exploration of familial relationships and personal discovery following the unexpected passing of a Pakistani Canadian woman's father. As she navigates the complexities of her grief, audiences are invited on a heartfelt journey replete with cultural nuances and universal themes. This year’s Sunday Spotlight, Through Tibetan Eyes: the Films of Pema Tseden, is a retrospective on the late Pema Tseden, whose pioneering work in Tibetan cinema continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. Through four of his seminal films, viewers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Tseden's visionary storytelling and profound exploration of Tibetan identity. In addition to the compelling film lineup, the festival will feature an Asian and Asian American Poetry Jam presented by San Diego Poetry Futures 2024 on April 20. This free event includes a live poetry reading and workshop in collaboration with San Diego Poet Laureate Jason Magabo Perez, providing attendees with an enriching cultural storytelling experience beyond the screen. Bringing the showcase to a close on April 25 is the awe-inspiring documentary "Ashima," which chronicles the extraordinary feats of Ashima Shiraishi, one of the world's youngest elite rock climbers. Against the backdrop of South Africa's rugged terrain, Ashima confronts her greatest challenge yet, captivating viewers with her determination and resilience.
