This Mother's Day, CAAMFest presents a double feature at SFMOMA showcasing films by female filmmakers. 'New Wave,' directed by Elizabeth Ai, delves into the 80s Viet New Wave music scene, unveiling repressed histories through the lens of rebellious teenagers. In contrast, Trinh T. Minh-ha's 'What About China' blends 90s archival footage with contemporary perspectives, focusing on women's narratives in relation to rural Chinese communities and architecture. These engaging films offer deep reflections on family and cultural identity, making a meaningful contribution to the celebration of motherhood and heritage.
