As time goes on, a media-perpetrated conglomeration
of incorrect assumptions, identities and images
surrounding Asia and the Pacifi c Islands continues
to form an ethnocentric and sorely misinformed
perspective of what is, in reality, a rich and diverse
culture. Thankfully, the folks behind the DisOrient
Asian and Pacifi c Islander American Film Festival
of Oregon know the power of media as well, as they’ve
been demonstrating for six years with a grass-roots
fi lm festival. Entirely volunteer run, the annual festival
uses fi lm as a medium for healing and inciting change.
This year’ festival showcases 11 fi lms that display the
experiences of humans as they truly occur — not as
false media portrayals that keep people of Asian and
South Pacifi c descent locked in a cage of “oriental”
stereotypes. DisOrient runs all weekend at Bijou Arts
Cinema; for times and prices, visit bijou-cinema.com.
