Fresh from two-sold premieres at the SF International
Asian American film festival, Jeff Adachi’s new film,
“The Slanted Screen,” opens for a one-week run at the
Roxie Theater in San Francisco on May 19-25, 2006.
The 60-minute film, which chronicles the experiences
of actors who have had to struggle against ethnic
stereotyping and limiting roles. The film presents a
critical examination of Hollywood’s image-making
machine, through a fascinating parade of 50 film clips
spanning a century. Winner of the Best Short
Documentary award at the NY International Independent
Film & Video film festival, the Slanted Screen “brings
into focus the most dangerous aspect of prejudice.”
