PAAFF August 2021 Film Club Graphic - Reads "Come discuss A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night - August 21 | 3–4:30 PM EST. Join our Film Club Mailing List at paaff.org/filmclub" Photo on right shows a black and white photo of a woman wearing a hijab standing in front of a fence with a shadowy figure s=looking at her from across the street in the foreground

Next month will be our last Film Club meeting of the year! We’ll be closing out our season with A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Ana Lily Amirpour’s award-winning debut.

With hints of homage to Iranian New Wave cinema, the film is more art film than vampire flick. Residents of an Iranian ghost-town, Bad City, encounter a skateboarding vampire who preys on men who disrespect women.

You can access A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night on Kanopy and for rent on Amazon Prime Video ($3.99). Our next meeting is scheduled for August 21 at 3PM ET/12PM PT.

Make sure you join the PAAFF Film Club Discord server if you’re interested in continuing the conversation outside of our monthly meetings!

The Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival (PAAFF) Preview Party is a free public event that will provide a sneak peek of what to expect at our upcoming annual film festival, scheduled for November 7th - 17th. We will unveil this year’s theme, the festival trailer, and trailers of the feature films. Guests will get an overview of the programming, including non-film events such as panels, performances, and parties as well as VIP guests attending the festival.

We have added a new element to our preview party this year. We will host a mini-marketplace to support and provide a platform for our local AAPI makers and businesses. We will also feature a local indie band, Moonroof.

This will close in 20 seconds
