About this Event
The Legendary Makers Film Festival has become a beloved component of the Legendary Makers Market which features over a hundred vendors. We made history as the largest pan-Asian American-centered event in Oregon. Including film screenings by Asian American filmmakers last year was important in amplifying contemporary narratives of who we are as Asian Americans. Our inaugural event attracted over 13,000 attendees and this year with incredible cross-promotional partners and a new venue we anticipate over 20-25,000 attendees. Learn more about the overall event at www.legendarymakersmarket.com.
Short Films to be screened:
- Dragonfly by Director Julia Morizawa
- Threading Silence by Director Isabel Tay
- Narpski by Director Caroline Weaver
After the screening, we will be holding a panel discussion and mixer with some of the creators. Seating is limited, so please get your tickets to save your spot.
