The day starts at 12:30PM with a Hawaiian-themed double feature of Hula: Merrie Monarch’s Golden Celebration,<\/em> directed by Roland Yamamoto, and Family Ingredients<\/em>, directed by Ty Sanga. At 3PM, screenings will continue with Angela Sun’s environmental documentary, Plastic Paradise<\/em>, about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which was first discovered by Long Beach-based oceanographer Charles Moore.<\/p>\nThe Cotabato Sessions<\/em>, a glimpse into the erosion of Filipino cultural traditions in the contemporary age, starts at 5PM. The documentary, directed by Joel Quizon, spotlights the history and future of indigenous Filipino kunlintang, a rhythmic ensemble music accompanied by dancing. A performance will be held after the screening with the film’s producer, New York-based musician Susie Ibarra, and special guests.<\/p>\n At 8PM, there will be an encore screening of Cambodian Son<\/em>, a film that follows the life of deported Khmer poet Kosal Khiev after he is chosen to represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
