The 24th Annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival starts today and runs through next Thursday, May 8th, as mentioned in The Los Angeles Times / The Guide, “Evolution of L.A.’s Asian film festival.” Seeing how Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and there are a lot of Asians/Asian Americans in Los Angeles, I find it surprising that San Francisco’s Asian American International Film Festival is the larger festival.
WHERE: Various locations in West Hollywood and downtown L.A.
WHEN: Today-next Thursday
PRICE: $8-$10, screenings; $12-$15, seminars; $24-$100, opening night; $16-$20, closing night
INFO: (213) 680-4462, Ext. 68; http://www.vconline.org/festival

If you think about, given Hollywood’s cultural and economic weight in the LA area and Hollywood’s perception of the marketability of Asian Americans (remember the MIT blackjack movie), it isn’t surprising that LA’s Asian American film festival would be smaller than the Bay Area’s.
