Asian American Beauty - Female Body Image (Part 1 of 2) Directed and edited by Calvin Sun. Produced by Aretha Choi, Marilla Li, and Calvin Sun. Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8XWQ62HdCs ***WINNER of the audience favorite "One to Watch Award" in the longest running Asian American film festival in the world; the 30th Annual Asian American International Film Festival!!!*** This is part 1 of 2 in a film discussing the Asian American opinion on female body image, beauty standards, eating disorders, and unspoken pressures to be thin in both American and Asian cultures. An otherwise taboo subject to talk about among specifically Asian Americans, students at Columbia University are now tired of keeping mum about the issue and are speaking out. This video does not aim to cover every single ground regarding the topic; instead it seeks to begin dialogue with a generalized approach to the problems as a first step. We want first to show that Asian Americans are like any other American struggling with issues of body image while at the same time facing pressures coming from their own respective cultures. This video certainly focuses on the former point; We hope that the latter will be explored more in the future. We also must reveal the contradiction of how Asian American girls are pressured in this society to look both "western" and "Asian." This includes pressures on how many Asian American girls are supposed to play up this well-known image of looking innocent, weak, and petite as "attractive", but at the same time mainstream media depicts Asian American females as alluring, "exotic," and sexy. We hope that the people in this video will inspire others around the world to undertake similar projects that would focus deeper into these issues regarding body image and perhaps more specifically Asian American body image. Therefore, this is only the beginning. Produced by Aretha Choi & Marilla Li. Directed & edited by Calvin Sun.

Produced by Aretha Choi, Marilla Li, and Calvin Sun. ***WINNER of the audience favorite "One to Watch Award" in the longest running Asian American film festival in the world; the 30th Annual Asian American International Film Festival!!!*** Director's Note: We do NOT intend to show that issues like anorexia and bulimia are specifically Asian American problems. We instead wanted people to see that Asian Americans teenagers struggle with eating disorders just like any other American. It has been a phenomenon that issues such as eating disorders has been an extremely taboo subject among Asian Americans who come from more conservative backgrounds. We also must reveal the contradiction of how Asian American girls are pressured in this society to look both "western" and "Asian." This includes pressures on how many Asian American girls are supposed to play up this well-known image of looking innocent, weak, and petite as "attractive", but at the same time mainstream media depicts Asian American females as alluring, "exotic," and sexy. We want to show that some are finally speaking out on the issue. -- Part 2 of 2 in a film discussing the Asian American opinion on female body image, beauty standards, eating disorders, and unspoken pressures to be thin in both American and Asian cultures.

Ann, a laid-off worker from Monster Cable and an activist with the Chinese Progressive Association said through CPA translator Shaw San Liu that the $1/2 trillion spent on the War on Iraq is hurting our communities at home. One of the largest and most vibrant contingents was led by BAYAN, ILPS, APICAW and closed out by the CJWP drummers and youth of Chinese Progressive Association/PODER Common Roots Program.

A CROOKED LINE Trailer - Asian American Theater Project This is the trailer for The Stanford University Asian American Theater Project's upcoming Spring production: Ju-Yon Kim's "A CROOKED LINE," opening April 5, 2007. Don't miss it! A CROOKED LINE A student-written play by Ju-Yon Kim Thursday, Friday, Saturday April 5-7 at 8pm Elliot Programming Center (Governor's Corner, next to Lake Lag) Tickets $8 General, $5 Students Available at the door http://acrookedline.stanford.edu STARRING: Bryan Tan Wendi Goh Amielynn Abellera Belinda Chiang Mark Marzona Directed By Alex Mallory About the show: A Crooked Line is the first of Stanford's Asian American Theater Project's two long-awaited Spring productions. Set sometime in the not-so-distant future, and amidst talk of war breaking out again on the Korean peninsula, three siblings, Mina, Leslie, and George, come home for the funeral of a great-aunt whose life is only discussed in embarrassed whispers. Despite Leslie's efforts to keep the peace, the family reunion deteriorates as old arguments between Mina and George about his decision to join the U.S. army are revived with a new urgency by the impending war. An insightful play that explores themes of racial identity, racism, family tension, cultural history and political reality, A Crooked Line is brought to life this weekend by a talented cast and crew - an intense, emotional, relatable experience that everybody can identify with. About the Stanford Asian American Theater Project: Steeped in history and rich in tradition, the Asian American Theater Project (AATP) boasts its famous founders Tony Award-winning playright David Henry Hwang and Nancy Takahashi. Established in 1978, AATP strives to feature Asian Americans in positive, non-stereotypical roles and to encourage Asian American talent in the arts. We hope to continue to build on our fine tradition of Asian American drama by providing opportunities to act, direct, write, and design. We welcome those interested in drama and theater to join us in our portrayals of the different stories which compose the Asian American experience.

AASA Listen to the Silence 2008 Stanford University Asian American Issues Conference Listen to the Silence 2008 12th Annual Asian American Issues Conference http://aasa.stanford.edu to Register! Mission Statement Justice - Today in the 21st century, social justice continues to elude Asian American populations. As globalization enriches some, low-income Asian American immigrant workers in garment factories, hotels, and restaurants continue to suffer from economic exploitation in America. As medical technology advances, socioeconomic and cultural barriers continue to threaten health care access for Asian American populations. Lack of representation in the media and the government continue to render Asian Americans invisible to greater American society. Unity - In the face of injustice, unity is a powerful weapon. To achieve justice, Asian American communities must collectively recognize a broken system, and combine their different experiences and voices to create one powerful, resounding voice that cannot be silenced. United, our community can achieve educational equity, a living wage and benefits for workers, and rights for immigrants. Action - For students, education can provide the initial impetus to pursue social change. But, unless we take visible action and create audible outcry, no change can be implemented or sustained. Our conference workshops highlight the work of those who are taking action in the Asian American community, and who are empowering others in their respective journeys. This year's theme, Justice, Unity, Action, reflects the need for Asian American communities to rise up and stand together against injustice in order to produce socially beneficial outcomes for our generation and the generations that succeed us. We hope that the Listen to the Silence 2008 conference will empower you to build bridges, educate each other, and advocate for worthy causes. Most importantly, we hope this conference will inspire you to pursue justice through unity in action.
