C-ID Summer Cinema 2024
Thanks for Another Amazing Summer of Free Outdoor Movies!
Looking Back at C-ID Summer Cinema 2024
This August, the Seattle Asian American Film Festival transformed Hing Hay Park into an open-air cinema for C-ID Summer Cinema 2024, filling the heart of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District with laughter, music, and the magic of movies.
Each Saturday evening, neighbors, friends, and families gathered with picnic blankets and snacks to enjoy free outdoor movies and live performances, celebrating Asian American stories and diverse cultural experiences.
Our 2024 lineup featured a mix of films that brought the community together:
• Polite Society 《文明社会》
• Raya and the Last Dragon 《寻龙传说》
• The Donut King 《甜甜圈大王》
• Lilo & Stitch 《星际宝贝》
We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors, partners, and all who came out to support this summer tradition. Thank you for making C-ID Summer Cinema 2024 a season to remember. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year for more movie magic and community fun in 2025!
August 3: A Spectacular Kick-Off!
C-ID Summer Cinema 2024 launched with an unforgettable evening at Hing Hay Park. The night began with Natya at UW, dazzling the audience with vibrant classical Indian dance, followed by the powerful rhythms and colorful artistry of the Mak Fai Dragon and Lion Dance Association.
As the sun set, the big screen lit up with Polite Society 《文明社會》— a martial-arts action comedy full of high kicks, laughter, and sisterhood that had the crowd cheering. It was the perfect start to a summer of community and cinema under the stars!
A huge thank you to the incredible artists who made the night so special:
