Screenshot ASIA: Connecting Pittsburgh to 21st Century Film and Media
Project Description
The Screenshot: Asia Film Festival (starting October 2021) brings together students, faculty, and community members around our interest in Asia as a rapidly developing and essential part of the 21st century global economy and our region’s shared love for contemporary film and media arts. The week-long event will showcase films from northern Asia to the Middle East.
Our themes, Global Asia (2021) and Inter/Media (2022), give us the flexibility to engage with local ethnic communities, Asian and Asian-American student interests, film lovers, and the broader public eager to learn more about Asia while celebrating artistry, diversity, and humanity through cinema.
