The Asian Studies Center--in collaboration with the Film Studies Program--is thrilled to announce Screenshot: Asia, its new film and media series and Asian festival. The festival is set to premiere in September 2020. To welcome this new series, we will host a few preliminary screenings during the 2019-2020 academic year. There will be a screening for Nostalgia for the Future on Monday, September 30 from 4:15 PM to 6 PM in 407 Cathedral of Learning. A reception and screening for Dragonfly Eyes will be held on Tuesday, October 8 at 4:30 in Frick Fine Arts Auditorium. A lecture and film screening of Godzilla on My Mind will be on Wednesday, October 16 at 6:30 PM in the WPU Assembly Room.Pittsburgh has been without its Asian film festival ever since Silk Screen closed last fall due to a history of sexual harassment by its executive officer.
