SA AMIN: OUR PLACE Film Screening

Join us for a screening of the new documentary SA AMIN: OUR PLACE co-directed by Dyan Ruiz. SA AMIN is the untold story of Filipinos in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, the cultural heart of the Filipino-American community. The film tells the story of how Filipino activists, artists and intergenerational families are claiming a right to the city, battling against displacement caused by urban renewal, real estate speculation, and tech booms. The film features never before seen archival footage from the late documentary filmmaker Sam Tagatac.

The event will open with Oscar Peñaranda reading from his most recent book "Follower of the Seasons: A Onethology in Symphony”.

Q & A will follow the screening. Our panelists include:

• Robert Ilumin, SA AMIN Interviewee + Former HUD Official

• Dyan Ruiz, Co-Director, SA AMIN + Co-Founder, People Power Media

• Mario de Mira, Cultural Advisor, SA AMIN + Director of Operations, SOMA Pilipinas Cultural Heritage District

• Kimmy Maniquis, Executive Director, Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA) 

Light Filipino snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.

This event is co-presented by Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA), SOMA Pilipinas Cultural Heritage District, SF Urban Film Fest and People Power Media.
