Welcome to the Saving Face BLOG!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Saving Face BLOG. We host this blog for collecting information and news of the film "Saving Face". "Saving Face" is a story of the journey of mutual understanding of a mother and a daughter. It's a story of contemporary and cultural taboos, love, honesty, and respect. It’s also the first American theatrical release film featuring an Asian American lesbian couple.

We have various reasons to support "Saving Face" and recommend it to you. Besides wanting to increase Asian lesbian visibility, combating homophobia through mass media, ensuring the support for Asian American films, promoting the director Alice Wu as an out lesbian filmmaker, we also share the message Alice tries to say with the film; that is, EVERYONE WANTS TO LOVE, and IT'S ALWAYS NOT TOO LATE TO LOVE.

The film was sold-out at its world debut last fall in Toronto and received high marks at the Sundance Film Festival and is expected to offer broad appeal when it opens in theaters in May. We are looking forward to seeing you join us in the theater this May. It indeed is a film for everyone.


Sincerely,


Mai, YY, Bin
Institute for Tongzhi Studies, CUNY
