The 11-day event, now in its 37th year, takes place May 9-18 at venues throughout SF and Oakland.

The kickoff this Thursday at the Castro Theatre is Bay Area natives Harry and Josh Chuck’s world-premiere documentary Chinatown Rising.

The screening will be followed by an opening-night party at the Asian Art Museum.

The official closer at the Roxie is another new documentary by a local filmmaker.

The latter was also a documentary filmmaker whose works often showed at CAAM, and will be excerpted as part of the program.
