Slants founder/curator is Houston-born Melissa Hung, a onetime Houston Press staff writer who now lives in San Francisco, where shes the blog editor of the Asian-American magazine Hyphen. The advantage to being a small film festival is that we only show the best work, Hung emailed us from San Francisco. We show Asian American films, not films from Asia. This is an important distinction, because were not showing foreign films. Were showing homegrown, stereotype-smashing art. 7 p.m. Glassell School of Art, 5101 Montrose. For information, call 713-868-2101 or visit www.aurorapictureshow.org. Free to $6. Tickets must be purchased online.
