The AAPI Center is hosting a Staff/Faculty AAPI Film Club to explore contemporary issues and cultural traditions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, both at USF and globally. These events are open to all USF faculty and staff. We invite all to connect with colleagues and share awareness of our new initiative with your students and campus partners. This event is co-presented by Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Vai (2019, 88 minutes) stars indigenous actresses from 7 Pacific countries, each of whom plays a character named Vai, to create a narrative of the experiences of women coming of age from 7 to 80 years old. Directed by nine female Pacific filmmakers, the film presents intertwined vignettes about emigration and passage of traditions.
