SUMMARY:ESMoA Video Art + Film Festival: FREEDOM Screening + Award Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:ESMoA is excited to be partnering with the Wende Museum to bring EVAFF to the A-Frame Theater\, part of their new 7\,500 sq. ft. Community Center. The project reactivated a long-disused theater into a state-of-the-art space for film\, learning\, and gathering\, and like everything at the Wende\, all programming there is free and open to the public. “Wende” is German for “turning point\,” which makes it a fitting home for a festival built around FREEDOM. \nJoin us for one night of selected shorts across film\, animation\, and video art\, followed by the announcement of this year’s awards. Each year’s award plaque is designed by a different LA-based artist. \nFounded in 2017\, EVAFF is a free annual international festival open to filmmakers of all ages and experience levels. Each year we invite artists to respond to a single theme in 60 seconds. \nESMoA (Experimentally Structured Museum of Art) is a public non-profit run by the artlab21 Foundation in Lawndale\, CA. We’ve hosted over 2\,000 free programs and 60+ Experiences\, reaching more than 140\,000 visitors across LA County. Always free admission\, always free programs.

SUMMARY:The Bengali: An Evening of Film and the Power of Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of film\, conversation\, and community at the Wende Museum as we explore the stories we inherit\, the identities we carry\, and the unexpected connections that shape our world. \nIn The Bengali\, named one of Nonfics’ Top 20 Documentaries\, director Kavery Kaul takes an American woman to India to uncover the past of her grandfather\, Shaik Mohamed Musa. He was one of the early group of men who arrived in the late nineteenth century and married African-American women. Her unlikely quest triggers a boldly different encounter between East and West. A personal search becomes a deeper journey into culture\, memory\, and identity\, breaking barriers and building bridges\, revealing how histories travel\, and families form across unexpected places. \nThe Bengali has inspired the #UnderOurSun impact campaign\, a digital storyteling movement that invites everyone to share their own cultural heritage and lived experience. Through in-person screenings\, lively panel discussions\, and digital storytelling\, the campaign sparks timely conversation about migration and belonging. \nThe Alliance of Women Film Journalists calls The Bengali “a lyrical and poetic documentary that shows how stories and presumptions can change\, forging connections that are rich and real — not just to the past\, but to the world at large.” \nProgram\n6:00 PM — Reception\n6:30 PM — Doors Open\n6:45 PM — Film Screening\n8:15 PM — Conversation & Audience Q&A \nFeaturing:Kavery Kaul\, Director\, The BengaliJulie Carmen\, Actress\, ProducerNajla Zaidi\, Director\, MPAC® Hollywood BureauModerated by: Lorraine Ali\, News and Culture Critic\, LA Times
