"The festival program features numerous titles that CAAM had a hand in funding, producing, or both, showcasing a diverse array of shorts, features, documentaries, and narratives."
"Director Eugene Yi probes ethnic identity issues and experiences through the insights of a starry on-screen rollcall including Senator Tammy Duckworth, astronaut Amanda Nyugen, and comedian Kumail Nanjiani."
"Documentaries are really the core of CAAM this time around, many of them existing in large part due to the assistance of the institution itself."
"Full-length nonfictions on tap include several Bay Area subjects, including Nisha Balaram's Meals That Made Us, about the myriad roles played by Asian cuisine in our region."
CAAMFest, formerly the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, is celebrating its 44th annual edition. The festival features 60 titles, including shorts, features, and documentaries, many funded or produced by the Center for Asian American Media. Notable films include HBO's The A List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas, which explores ethnic identity through various prominent figures. Documentaries play a significant role this year, with films like Meals That Made Us and About Face: Disrupting Ballet addressing cultural themes and stereotypes.
