"half the world cinema"

article from flavorwire http://flavorwire.com/27043/10-films-from-the-past-decade-that-cemented-asian-cinemas-art-house-status as the link states- 10 films from asia in the past decade. Might give some frame of reference to the concepts of Asian American aesthetics discussed in class.

IDeas?

Hello! It has been a while. How is everyone doing? So was thinking that we should get this summer portion of the project launched. Shall we do some brainstorming and writing to see where we are headed exactly? Perhaps we can turn this into a project studying whatever aspect of the Vietnamese American experience that interests us at the moment. For instance, Youme and Hai wish to learn Vietnamese this summer. Perhaps you two can blog about your encounters with the language experience and the dualism of learning to be bilingual/multilingual? As for my part...I am beginning to think I want to continue reading more research.

So what does everyone think? It'll be a shame for this project to simply ween out and die obscurely.
