SUMMARY:Batang West Side
DESCRIPTION:Asia Society welcomes filmmaker Lav Diaz for a 25th anniversary screening of Batang West Side— which had its U.S. Premiere at Asia Society on July\, 24\, 2001 as the Centerpiece Screening of the 25th Asian American International Film Festival— as part of our ongoing series Films to See Before You Die. Co-presented by Asian CineVision. \nBatang West Side\nLav Diaz\, Philippines\, 2001\, 35mm\, 301 min.\nIn English\, Tagalog\, and Filipino with English subtitles \nWith an extended introduction by Lav Diaz. \nInvestigating the murder of the young Hanzel (Yul Servo)\, shot dead one winter night on West Side Ave\, police detective Juan Mijares (Joel Torres) plumbs the depths of the Filipino youth gangs of Jersey City who trade in shabu – crystal meth. Talking to the boy’s mother\, remarried to an American\, to his grandfather\, an ex-soldier as well as to his American-born girlfriend\, bigger questions emerge: what dark history has pushed so many Filipinos to migrate this wintry land? Why are these the conditions of their children? What past does this detective emerge from? \nShot at the freezing turn of the millennium by a young and fearless Lav Diaz (Norte\, The End of History)\, Batang West Side is a timeless epic about Filipino immigration over generations. Diaz’s sole film shot in the United States\, and the longest film to be made by a Southeast Asia director at the time\, Diaz does not shy away from the power of cumulative answers\, revealed intricately over the course of the epic runtime and Dostoyevskian themes that would become hallmarks in the oeuvre of the Filipino master. (Kani Releasing) \n35mm Print Courtesy of the Austrian Film Museum. \nA limited amount of complimentary tickets will be available to NYC college students with ID at the box office on the day of the screening. \nLav Diaz’s latest film\, MAGELLAN\, opens Friday\, January 9 at Film at Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:A Conversation on AI & Teaching with David Adams
DESCRIPTION:As conversations about Artificial Intelligence rapidly evolve across industries\, one question remains especially urgent: How can AI help support the work of teachers and strengthen our classrooms?   \nTo explore this question\, join the Fund for the City of New York for a special fireside chat with David Adams\, Chief Executive Officer of the Urban Assembly and one of the nation’s most influential leaders in social-emotional learning (SEL) and education innovation. \nAcross the country\, schools are facing unprecedented challenges: rising student needs\, staffing shortages\, limited access to counselors\, and mounting pressure on teachers to do more with less. While AI is often discussed in terms of disruption\, David Adams invites us to consider a different perspective—AI as a strategic tool to increase teacher capacity\, not replace it. \nThis fireside chat will shed light on an emerging space where technology and human-centered teaching intersect—with an emphasis on solving problems through real-world constraints. We invite you to join us for this timely and inspiring conversation on AI & Teaching—and to be part of the growing dialogue about how technology can strengthen our schools.

SUMMARY:Book Club: I Deliver Parcels in Beijing
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Hu Anyan floated between odd jobs on the outskirts of China’s megalopolises: stocking warehouses\, waiting at hotels\, selling bikes\, delivering packages and more. Then in 2017\, suffering from insomnia after graveyard shifts in a Foshan warehouse\, he began to write seriously. I Deliver Parcels in Beijing\, a profound collection of autobiographical essays on the nature of work\, human endurance and the crush of modernity\, is the result. The memoir follows Hu’s peripatetic life\, chronicling the absurdities\, tragedies and triumphs of a life on the edge. A self-taught “wild” writer\, Hu’s prose is propulsive and readable. With nearly two million copies sold in China\, Parcels\, as CBR columnist Na Zhong put it\, is about “how our minds and bodies are chipped away by numbers” in pursuit of another day’s freedom. Rendered into English by Jack Hargreaves (author of CBR’s translated fiction column)\, Parcels is the latest great work of “amateur literature” (素人文学) to come from China. \nJoin our bimonthly book club for evenings of spirited literary discussion and connection with likeminded readers. China Books Review editors host sessions in New York City (at Asia Society’s café) and Washington\, D.C. (at JF Books). We meet five times a year (Jan\, Mar\, May\, Sep\, Nov) to discuss the latest literature from or on the Sinophone world\, with a focus on translated Chinese fiction — featuring introductory context\, freewheeling discussions and light refreshments\, plus plenty of time for mingling. \nEmail info@chinabooksreview.com to sign-up for our next session! Please include a short bio and your city (NYC or DC\, no remote). You’ll also be added to our invite list for future sessions (no pressure to attend each time; we can take you off the list anytime.)

SUMMARY:YELLOW: An Artistic Space Centering Asian Voices
DESCRIPTION:Come find refuge in a space that celebrates & centers Asians! \n“In the West\, yellow’s unsavory status went back centuries…The color grew to represent envy\, jealousy…duplicity…and cowardice. \nYellow was a contemptible color in the Western imagination\, and it fit snugly with the Western idea of the Oriental human being\, especially as he became a threat first to the American workingman\, then to the chaste American woman\, and finally to Western civilization itself. \n– Excerpts from “Big Little Man” by Alex Tizon \nFor Asians\, yellow represents soil & earth\, life\, resistance\, courage\, rebirth\, revolution\, & unity.We are reclaiming and rewriting all narratives that undermine the richness and complexity of Asian individuals\, cultures\, traditions\, & longing. Join us in amplifying and celebrating Asian heritage with song\, dance\, poetry\, performance\, & discourse. \nFor a peek into the power & creativity of some of our Asian artists\, delight in our gift bags from CommemorASIAN: Shame is Not Ours to Keep (2024) & Yellow CommemorASIAN (2025)! \nThere is no need to sign up to perform. Anyone can perform as long as they are amplifying Asian voices\, artists\, initiatives\, & experiences. A list of Asian artists will be shared for participants to peruse their work and share whatever resonates with them – of course\, you are welcome to add to our list! Each VOICE will have the floor for 5 minutes. \nCreating a safer space for everyone is our priority. We do not tolerate any discrimination\, including but not limited to racism\, sexism\, queerphobia\, islamophobia\, antisemitism\, ableism\, xenophobia\, and sanism. \nWe demand a free Congo\, Nepal\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, Tibet\, Turtle Island\, Ukraine\, Yemen; and freedom for all countries\, peoples\, and species that face colonization\, erasure\, and oppression. If you do not align with our ethos\, then this space is not for you. \nOtherwise\, we’ll see you on the last Sunday of the month (with some exceptions)!
