2021 U.S.-Asia Entertainment Summit and Game Changer Awards
VIEW EVENT DETAILSThe 2021 U.S.-Asia Entertainment Summit celebrated Asian and Asian American contributions to film and television, both creatively and philanthropically. Asia Society has long recognized the power of audiovisual storytelling in building bridges across cultures, and the Summit recognized a group of honorees whose impact on the medium transcends national borders. The Summit honored both creatives and executives, beginning with trailblazing Netflix Head of Global TV Bela Bajaria, visionary director of Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings Destin Daniel Cretton, and renowned South Korean actor Lee Byung-Hun.
In conjunction with this celebration of excellence in film, ASSC honored the philanthropic endeavors of the establishment of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures with a tribute to its major Asian and Asian American donors. This new cultural landmark, and the inspirational ethos behind it, would not be possible without the generosity of philanthropists such as our honorees Mark Amin, Ashok and Chitra Amritraj, Julia Gouw, Peter Lam, George Takei, and Karen Wong of the Robert Chinn Foundation.
The day began with an afternoon of programming, including panels with Asian American women entertainment executives, the authors of a comprehensive new history of Asian America, and veteran dealmakers in the Chinese film industry.
