This selection of nine experimental shorts from the 11th annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas is an eclectic group of new Asian and Asian-American works that unapologetically pushes past the limits of the usual film genres.

The Asian Film Festival of Dallas is dedicated to celebrating and supporting emerging and established Asian and Asian-American filmmakers and sharing the rich diversity of Asian culture through the medium of cinema. Over the past 11 years, the annual film festival has grown to become the Southwest's largest showcase of Asian and Asian American cinema. The festival has provided opportunities for nearly 400 Asian and Asian American filmmakers and documentarians to share their vision, often providing the only venue for their films to be shown in Dallas. The films have also allowed festival goers a chance to experience other lives and cultures without leaving their seats.

Presented in partnership with Asia Society, a leading educational organization dedicated to promoting mutual understanding and strengthening partnerships among peoples, leaders and institutions of Asia and the United States in a global context, the films will be hosted in The Brown Foundation Performing Arts Theater inside the Asia Society Texas Center. An architectural marriage of East and West designed by Japan-born, Harvard-educated Yoshio Taniguchi, the space combines contemporary international design with an understated elegance and serenity one associates with Asia. If you have not been to the new space, then surely this is the perfect excuse to do so.
