One Book, One Philadelphia: Film Screening and Discussion with the Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation – Apr 23

Posted by Free Library of Philadelphia on April 14, 2026

In partnership with the Philadelphia Asian American Film Foundation, join us for a curated screening and discussion of three short-films: Fighting For Family, The Healing Circle, and Kalinga (Care).

The evening will feature a curated screening of three short films presented by the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival: Fighting For FamilyThe Healing Circle, and Kalinga (Care). Each film offers a distinct perspective on themes such as immigration, belonging, and community. Together, these powerful films reflect many of the ideas explored in this year’s One Book, One Philadelphia selection, Our Missing Hearts.

Following the screening, attendees are invited to stay for a community conversation between the filmmakers. Together, participants will reflect and discuss how storytelling through literature and cinema can illuminate contemporary issues affecting Asian American communities and beyond.

Date and Time: Thursday, April 23, 6:30 PM

Location: Parkway Central Library, Montgomery Auditorium, 1901 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA
