Film Screening: New Wave

Sat, Apr 19, 2025
2:00pm–4:00pm
Helmut Stern Auditorium

The U-M Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs presents a screening of the award winning documentary film New Wave (1 hr, 28 min), a coming-of-age story about young Vietnamese American teen refugees who were pioneering a musical phenomenon known as 1980’s new wave. 

You are invited to join a community screening of the Tribeca Festival 2024 Official Selection documentary, New Wave. Mile-high hair. Synthesized music. Underground parties. Elizabeth Ai was on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious punks in the chaotic world of 80s Vietnamese new wave until she rediscovered a hidden past.

Join us for a special screening afternoon followed by a reception in the Museum of Art. Brought to you by Song United and American Citizens for Justice with additional support from UMMA, the University of Michigan Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA), LSA American Culture, MAAPAC, and the Ford Foundation Just Films.

Free and open to the public, RSVP required.
