“Yes, there was displacement and trauma, but they made music — they had fun. This was my homage to the people that raised me,” @elizabeth_ai

Did you know the actor giving this very specific FU / don’t-tell-me-what-to-do energy in NEW WAVE is Felix Fang, one half of the duo behind Double Joy, who’ll be feeding us at DEEP CUTS tomorrow?

That’s the spirit of the room we’re building. DJs who archive. Filmmakers who cook. Photographers who produce. Volunteers who are filmmakers, artists + cultural workers in their own right. People who are never just the one thing listed next to their name.

Come experience what happens when all that talent, music, food, film, archives + community share one space.

Just before the Mid-Autumn moon, come gather, set an intention + see what finds you.

NEW WAVE now on The Criterion Channel. Come celebrate with us.
