NOW Live from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center

Thanks to all who made the premiere of Sandaan, the documentary created for the Smithsonian Filipino American Centennial by Sonny Izon, the award-winning creator of An Untold Triumph, a warm and wonderful success!

Time:
Friday, October 20, 2006, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
 
Location:
Baird Auditorium
National Museum of Natural History
10th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW

Izon’s latest, Sandaan, is an intimate family album of Filipino experiences in America during the past one hundred years—at times exhilarating, at times bittersweet, but ultimately a determined and triumphant journey toward claiming America as home.

In celebrating Filipino American filmmakers, the program also featured two short films: Manongs by Linda Mabalot and an animated film, Maritess vs. the Superfriends, by Dino Ignacio.

This program was the penultimate part of a series of programs throughout 2006 at the Smithsonian Institution to commemorate the centennial of Filipino migration to the United States.
