Responding to a lack of studies on the film festival's role in the
production of cultural memory, this book explores different
parameters through which film festivals shape our reception and
memories of films. By focusing on two Asian American film
festivals, this book analyzes the frames of memory that festivals
create for their films, constructed through and circulated by the
various festival media. It further establishes that festival
locations-both cities and screening venues-play a significant role
in shaping our experience of films. Finally, it shows that
festivals produce performances which help guide audiences towards
certain readings and direct the film's role as a memory object.
Bringing together film festival studies and memory studies, 'Asian
American Film Festivals' offers a mixed-methods approach with which
to explore the film festival phenomenon, thus shedding light on the
complex dynamics of frames, locations, and performances shaping the
festival's memory practices. It also draws attention to the
understudied genre of Asian American film festivals, showing how
these festivals actively engage in constructing and performing a
minority group's collective identity and memory.
