 HOLLYWOOD CHINESE FILM SERIES

 Los Angeles May 15-22, 2008

 The American Cinematheque presents a film series in conjunction with the Egyptian's engagement of Hollywood Chinese. Curated by filmmaker Arthur Dong, the series includes motion pictures that highlight the Chinese in American feature films. Starting from the newly discovered and re-stored 1917 silent film, The Curse of Quon Gwon, to a cast and crew reunion of The Joy Luck Club, and nights devoted to Nancy Kwan, Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu, this will be a first for Los Angeles. Special guests and speakers will accompany each program.
