Southeast Asia X Seattle Film and Literature Festival


Organizer: University of Washington Southeast Asia Center

Description:

How do we see? How are we seen? Southeast Asia has often been subjected to regimes of seeing and knowing, but filmmakers from the region and its diasporas are creating and sharing their own ways of looking back at themselves and at Southeast Asia. This year, at the SEAxSEA Film & Literature Festival, these storytellers are sharing their own perspectives, demonstrating how the act of seeing can also be an act of resisting.

Literary Panels:
