China is by far the world’s greatest plastic importer. Every year, developed countries from around the world send China ten-million tons of plastic waste, and it’s only getting worse. Chinese filmmaker Wang Jiuliang’s Plastic China tells the troubling story of the working people whose lives revolve around this waste.

The Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF) premiered in the summer of 1978 in New York City answering a growing need for social understanding, cultural diversity in American life, and independent cinema. AAIFF is the first festival in the U.S. to showcase film and video work by artists of the Asian Diaspora. Forty years later, the AAIFF has grown to include films and video from more than 30 countries, a variety of topical panels and workshops, industry mixers, staged readings, exclusive interviews, receptions and more.

Presented with Asian CineVision, Cinema Village, and Flushing Town Hall.
