While most films made by Asian American filmmakers were independently produced outside of a hostile studio system, these four features stand out for their cult status, campy bravura, and experiments in filmmaker self-distribution.
The films part of the Super Indie strand are:
Shopping for Fangs (1997, Quentin Lee, Justin Lin)
In the Family (2011, Patrick Wang)
DOUBLE BILL: my favorite software is being here (2021, Alison Nguyen) + Fresh Kill (1994, Shu Lea Cheang)
Fruit Fly (2009, H.P. Mendoza)
This is the fifth strand of the programme Constellating Histories: Encounting Asian American Diasporas Onscreen, running from 6 January to 19 March 2023 at Oldham Theatre.

About the Programme
From Chinatown sagas, to experimental documentary, to musicals in Technicolor and punk-inspired chamber dramas, this series brings together a constellation of voices from the Asian American cinematic imaginary. The images, sounds, and narratives of these films express both a longing from the dispossessed for an unattainable homeland and a glee at having broken away from it.
Tickets for Strand 4 – 6 of this programme will go on sale Wednesday, 18 January 2023.
