New York’s Tribeca Film Festival is turning 22 this year, and from June 5-16 will be bringing another bumper crop of American and international indies to film screens in lower Manhattan. And sure, we’d all like to eat cannolis with Robert De Niro at one of those fancy bakeries they have down there, but unfortunately not all of us are talented enough to create a Tribeca-worthy feature or short. Luckily, we have proxies available in the form of three Film Independent Fiscal Sponsorship-supported projects!
These Tribeca-bound bangers include one fiction feature, one nonfiction feature and a fiction short. So whatever programming track you find yourself on below Canal Street in July, there’s a good chance you’ll stumble upon something with our #FiSpo impreminator. You’ll also discover three distinct tales–of contentious teen romance, manslaughter as family bonding, and the 1980s New Wave music scene. And in case you forgot,...

New Delhi, April 19 (Ians) The US-based global Asian fusion restaurant chain, P.F. Chang’s, which is famous for its iconic dishes such as lettuce-wrapped chicken, Dynamite Shrimp and Spicy Kimchi Fried Rice, is opening at the Cyber Hub, Gurugram, on April 21, following its Indian debut in Mumbai.
Brought into India by Ramit Mittal, who’s from the Bharti Mittal family and was last in the news for getting Sri Lankan celebrity chef Dharsana Munidasa’s Ministry of Crab, P.F. Chang’s is the creation of the Shanghai-born American restaurateur Philip Chiang and his business partner Paul Fleming.
The P.F. in the restaurant chain’s name, incidentally, stands for Paul Fleming. The brand also features Chiang’s surname minus the ‘i’.
Their partnership took shape after Fleming, who was planning to open a Chinese restaurant, dropped in at the eatery Chang had been running in Phoenix, Arizona, since...

“Crazy Rich Asians” premieres Wednesday, and the film has been oft-lauded for being the first major studio film to feature a mainly Asian-American cast in 25 years, the last one being “The Joy Luck Club.” However, the history of Asian-Americans in film has spanned over a century, before even the inception of color film. Here is a chronological look at films starring Asian-Americans from the past — and the future.
“The Cheat” (1915) Asian men are rarely painted as sex symbols even in contemporary media, but Japanese-American actor Sessue Hayakawa became a veritable heartthrob, especially after starring in Cecil B. DeMille’s silent thriller, “The Cheat.” Though monumental, his role was that of a predatory antagonist, a typecast that stuck with him during the anti-Japanese sentiments of World War II.
“Daughter of Shanghai” (1937) Anna May Wong starred alongside Korean-American actor Philip Ahn, who played a government agent trying to bust an alien smuggling ring in San Francisco.

About five years ago, Chay Yew, a playwright and the artistic director of the Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago, was approached by schools for copies of Asian American plays that could be taught and performed. Except Yew couldn’t find a recent compilation of Asian American plays. So when Theatre Communications Group (Tcg) approached him about editing a new anthology, he agreed, and the result is “Version 3.0,” released by Tcg yesterday.
