TAP-NY Movie Night – American Girl

July 11, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

Join TAP-NY for a movie night where we will watch American Girl, a film by Taiwanese American writer/director Feng-I Fiona Roan

American Girl is an award-winning family drama, set against the outbreak of the SARS virus in 2003. The film centers around thirteen-year-old Fen, who is uprooted from her life in Los Angeles when her mother is diagnosed with cancer. As Fen struggles to adapt to her new life and school in Taipei and reconnects with her long-separated father, her turbulent relationship with her mother worsens.

The film, which stars award-winning newcomer Caitlin Fang, award-winning actress Karena Lam and award-winning actor Kaiser Chuang, was an Official Selection in the 2021 Tokyo International Film Festival’s Asian Future Competition section and has won five Golden Horse Awards, including Best New Performer (Caitlin Fang), Best New Director (Feng-I Fiona Roan), Best Cinematography (Giorgos Valsamis), Audience Choice Award and the FIPRESCI Prize.
