CAAMfest serves up portrayals of Asian life and culture at a time of unsettling anti-Asian bias and violence.

Numerous Bay Area activities are in the works to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, with the standout for movie fans being CAAMFest.

This year’s program will be a hybrid of live and online viewings, running May 12-22, with in-person screenings in San Francisco and Oakland. And to CAAM executive director Stephen Gong, the event’s return could not come at a more critical time. With startling candor, “Bad Axe” expresses the resiliency and feistiness of a family of immigrant parents as a younger generation chips in to help their parents’ restaurant located in Trumpland.
