The 24th annual Asian American Film Festival (directed by my college friend Chi-Hui Yang) is going on right now. Friday night Yuki and I checked out Linda Linda Linda at the PFA, and I loved it. Four girls, three Japanese and one Korean, have three days to learn three songs by The Blue Hearts so they can play at their school festival. I’m a sucker for movies with plots that revolve around music (I cried at the end of School of Rock), and Linda Linda Linda is one of the best I’ve seen. Du-na Bae is especially good as the hilariously blunt Song. Definitely see it in SF on the 22nd if you have a chance.

Next week we’re checking out the festival’s showing of Cafe Lumiere.
