DC Asian Pacific American Film Festival

The annual DC APA Film Festival curates films from established and emerging Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander artists. This year’s program explores the intersection of indigenous and AANHPI diaspora communities and features new and repertory films, some of which rarely screen for the public. All screenings will be followed by Q&As. Although AANHPI creatives have been writing, producing and directing films for over 100 years, so many beautiful, impactful works have not been seen by general audiences. This year, the festival will present an array of films that represent unexpected perspectives on identity, ancestry and community that spans nearly five decades of AANHPI cinema.

This film festival has multiple screenings throughout the weekend at the following locations:
Alamo Drafthouse DC, 630 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002
Angelika Pop Up at Union Market, 550 Penn St NE, Washington, DC 20002
AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, 8633 Colesville Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20910

Designing Graphics for Education and Outreach

A well-thought through design is the best way to communicate ideas. Archaeologists communicate information through graphics, websites, maps, charts, presentation slides, handouts, and more. In this one-hour virtual workshop, participants will learn about the basics of design principles, what to consider when creating accessible graphics for the public, and free resources to save time and funding. Brush Up workshops are organized by Archaeology in the Community and sponsored by the Society of Black Archaeologists. As part of the Brush Up series of workshops, participants will receive expert instruction, resources, a quiz to test understanding, and a certificate of completion.
