Tonight kicks off Slant 8 at the Aurora Picture Show. Slant started up in 2000, showcasing inventive takes on Asian American life through films and performances. Their Facebook page mentions "the smashing of stereotypes, off-beat humor, family stories and a spectacular gun battle or two" as frequent subjects.
The weekend-long film festival opens tonight with eleven short experimental and narrative films. On Saturday night, television personality Nobu Adilman will host a screening of his short films and television shows. Sunday afternoon's four short films are centered on modern families and relational strains.
You can buy tickets online here or by calling Aurora at (713) 868-2101.
