Hi THERE,  I was on your website and noticed that you blog about women in cinema.

I wanted to make you aware that this June, Turner Classic Movies presents Race

& Hollywood: Asian Images in Film. This is a groundbreaking festival of 37

films examining the portrayal of Asians in classic movies. The festival is

co-hosted by Robert Osborne (TCM’s primetime host) and Dr. Peter X Feng, an

associate professor of film, ethnic and cultural studies at the University of

Delaware and expert on Asian American film.
Asian Images in Film will feature interviews from some of the most notable

Asian actors, actresses and directors in the industry including George Takei,

Wayne Wang, Ming Wen and documentarian Elaine Mae Woo. Films shown range from

the silent era (1899) through modern films (2001) and include the Dragon Seed,

Bridge to the Sun, Shanghai Express, Enter the Dragon and Joy Luck Club.
