SUMMARY:Screening - Stanley Kwan’s CENTER STAGE
DESCRIPTION:International superstar Maggie Cheung (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) embodies tragic screen siren Ruan Lingyu\, known as the “Greta Garbo of China\,” in this unconventional biopic by Hong Kong New Wave master Stanley Kwan (ROUGE). Praised for her moving and emotive onscreen presence\, Ruan’s private life\, which was frequent fodder for the vicious Shanghai tabloids\, began to mirror the melodramas which brought her fame\, culminating in her suicide at age 24. Kwan and Cheung paint a kaleidoscopic yet intimate portrait of the ill-fated actress\, deftly blending lush period drama\, archival footage\, and metatextual documentary sequences of Cheung reflecting on Ruan’s legacy. The result is\, much like the films of Ruan Lingyu themselves\, “tender\, vivid\, and almost overwhelmingly moving” (Time Out). \nUse code AAARI for $4 discount.

SUMMARY:Building Civic Partnerships as a Revenue Strategy for Community Media

In 2025\, civic partnerships brought in approximately $350\,000\, making it El Tímpano’s second-largest source of revenue. \n​In this session you’ll learn how to: \n\n\n​The basics of a civic partnerships strategy and how to determine if it’s right for you \n\n\n​How to retain editorial independence while earning revenue from civic and nonprofit agencies \n\n\n​The steps to develop a civic partnerships strategy in your organization

SUMMARY:Town Hall: A Readout of New Data on Health Risks & Air Quality Levels of Chinatown’s Megajail
DESCRIPTION:As the excavation and construction phases of the Manhattan Borough-Based “Megajail” begin\, there are growing concerns in Chinatown of a repeat of the issues present throughout the demolition phase. This time\, the air\, noise\, and vibration issues will persist for several years. \nFollowing a previous town hall with Neighbors United Below Canal\, which examined the health and environmental risks posed by the demolition phase\, we are reconvening the community on Aug 13th from 6 to 8 PM at The Hub to continue the conversation and to look ahead in preparation for the construction phase. Our panel will discuss findings from a recent air quality monitoring study conducted during the megajail’s demolition phase\, and share experiences advocating for improved safety measures and how we can fight together for better solutions. \nLimited seating — RSVP via the link to reserve your spot.

Moderated by Edward Lim\, former Business Librarian at the University of Connecticut. \nThe Asian American Forum (AAF) was created and hosted by Dr. Paul Bock and Mrs. Phoebe Ten Yin Ho Bock\, and was the first Asian American college radio program on the East Coast.
