Opening night at Wing Luke Museum will feature two films.
Spring After Spring
Directed by Jon Chiang

After their mother’s death, three sisters reunite to lead Vancouver’s Chinatown Parade, forced to choose between honoring their past and letting it go.
Bridging our Stories
Directed by Rafael Bitanga
Runtime: 24 minutes
When the last Filipino community center in Ketchikan, Alaska, becomes a memory, a 50-year-old Filipina who spent her life resisting her heritage travels to the Philippines to rediscover her roots, preserving her community’s disappearing culture, and teaching indigenous Filipino dances.
This is a story beyond one culture; it is about the struggle of immigrants to maintain their identity in the U.S., played out on the last frontier.
