The Chinese American Museum presents a virtual book talk with Arthur Dong on Hollywood Chinese: The Chinese in American Feature Films.

About this Event

Share an evening with Arthur Dong, as he presents his first virtual book talk via ZOOM. The author-filmmaker will present a guided tour of Hollywood Chinese--which Kenneth Turan selected as a Los Angeles Times "Critic’s Choice"--featuring a visual feast of fascinating images and an array of film clips culled from Dong's life-long research and passion for cinema history.

Inspired and expanding on his documentary film of the same name, the book explores the Chinese American impact on the Hollywood film industry from the early days of film to today’s box office hits. Mr. Dong examines the portrayal of Asian American culture in Hollywood and the celebration of culture to the subtle and not so subtle projection of stereotypes in movies. Guest Moderator, Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning Hollywood producer, Janet Yang, will engage in a discussion on how the book resonates with readers and the relevance in today’s climate.

The event will conclude with a Q&A and a chance to chat directly with Arthur Dong. During the live event, attendees will receive a 30% Off Promo Code to purchase the book. Attendees will also have the opportunity to request a personal inscription and autograph by the author for each book purchased.
