SUMMARY:The Arrogance of Power Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 40th anniversary of the Philippines’ EDSA People’s Power protests\, the Luskin AAPI Caucus at UCLA is hosting a film screening of the 1983 documentary\, “Arrogance of Power.” This documentary shows the fascist might of the Marcos regime and how militarization and human rights violations were institutionalized in Philippine political life. This event serves as a reminder of the vigilance required to protect human rights from abusive and corrupt powers.  \nJoin us as we discuss the historical importance of the EDSA Revolution and the lessons we pull from it to navigate today’s political climate. We will also share information about the UCLA Asian American Studies digital exhibit Never Forget\, a digital exhibition of political posters and oral histories chronicling the transnational Anti-Martial Law Movement. \nFilipino catering will be provided by LA Rose Cafe; spots are limited\, so food is first come first serve. \nAdditionally\, we will hold balikbayan box donation drive to support typhoon relief(which one/s?) in the Philippines\, in collaboration with the Filipino Migrant Center of Long Beach! We encourage folks to please bring medical supplies\, non-perishable goods\, and/or toiletries to donate for typhoon relief in the Philippines.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Third Act by Tad Nakamura '03
DESCRIPTION:UCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television\, in collaboration with the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and UCLA Asian American Studies Department\, present Third Act\, by Tad Nakamura ’03 about his father Robert Nakamura MFA ’75\, director\, UCLA film professor\, and founder of the UCLA Center for EthnoCommunications.  Join us for this special screening and conversation. About the film: “Generations of artists call Robert A. Nakamura “The Godfather of Asian American film\,” but his son\, Tad\, calls him Dad. As the filmmaking son of a filmmaking legend\, Tad uses the lessons his dad taught him to decipher the legacy of an aging man who was a child survivor of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans\, a successful photographer who gave it up to tell his own story\, an activist at the dawn of a social movement—and a father whose struggles have won his son freedoms that eluded Japanese Americans of his generation. As Parkinson’s Disease clouds his memory\, Tad sets out to retrieve his story—and in the process discovers his own. The two have made films together\, with Robert always by Tad’s side.” \nOfficial Selection of the Sundance Film Festival! Don’t miss this powerful and moving film followed by an exclusive conversation with the director himself! \nCome early for the lobby reception\, connect with community\, and celebrate Asian American storytelling on the big screen! \nReception at 6:00 PM | Screening at 7:00 PM \nSeats will fill up FAST — RSVP now!
