Elizabeth Ai’s introspective documentary tells the story of new wave, a musical phenomenon popularized by young Vietnamese refugees in the 80s, where Italo disco was covered by singers with gloriously spiked hair and shoulderpads. Ai weaves archival footage, interviews with industry legends (such as Lynda Trang Dai, “the Vietnamese Madonna”), and her own story of the new wave—of postwar trauma, of coming of age in a new world, and of escapist, synth-pop daydreams on an open, Southern California road.FREE pre-screening reception for All-Fest Pass and Closing Night ticketholders at The Patio, next to Regal Edwards Mira Mesa. Film followed by NEW WAVE Party from 9 – 11PM at Royal Banquet
Attendees are encouraged to dress in 1980s fashion!
