Free Admission
- Seating is extremely limited, and we are only able to accommodate up to 30 attendees per session.
- Registration will only be accepted per session on a weekly basis, meaning you can’t just book yourself for all five sessions ahead of time. You are also limited to only two reservations per session. Registration starts every Monday, at 1PM.
- There is no on-site admittance without prior registration. If you did not receive a reply by email, or speak with someone over the phone to confirm your registration, that means you are not registered.
- AAARI also reserves the right to refuse admittance by anyone who arrives later than 6PM, as a courtesy to those who arrived on time.
- Please do not arrive early than 5:15PM, as we may still be setting up.
Why spend your Summer sunsets at home, when you can visit AAARI, and experience some of the best films that Asians have to offer from around the globe? This five session workshop will guide viewers on a retrospective study through some of Asian American / Asian cinema’s most beloved and highly acclaimed films from the past decades.
