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

Race and Hollywood: Asian Images in Film premieres Tuesday, June 3rd at 8pm and
will continue every Tuesday and Thursday in June on Turner Classic Movies.
