More March News

Stop the deportations, stop the wars!

It's a challenging time, but we have always faced danger. Right now, it's more evident, fast-moving, widespread, and affecting all aspects of our lives. We are committed to survival, working in collaboration with our allies and supporters. We will continue our mission of promoting social change through media that represents our communities and nurturing the next generation of filmmakers dedicated to equality. We encourage everyone to participate in ways that empower the forces of progressive humanity and protect the rights that so many before us have fought for—our civil rights, freedom of speech, diversity, the freedom to be ourselves, and our right to live in peace. 

We continue with news from our community of filmmakers. TWN Workshop graduate Khary Saeed Jones premiered his new hybrid documentary "Night Fight" at SXSW. Also, TWN Workshop graduate Vi Tuong Bui is exhibiting "Thời Thơ Ấu (Childhood)" at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans until September 21st. Finally, Ho Tam, director of "The Yellow Pages", is currently exhibiting "Haircut 100" at the Carriage Trade gallery in New York City.
