Join us for a special screening of The Flip Side, the groundbreaking feature debut of Rod Pulido, the first Filipino-American filmmaker to premiere a feature at the Sundance Film Festival. This bold, vibrant coming-of-age story broke barriers when it hit the screen, offering a rare and unapologetic portrayal of Filipino-American youth, identity, and culture at a time when authentic representation was nearly invisible in mainstream media. More than two decades later, The Flip Side continues to resonate with new generations, having inspired countless Filipino creatives to pursue storytelling on their own terms. It remains a cultural touchstone in Filipino-American cinema — one that helped pave the way for broader API narratives in film. Stick around after the screening for an exclusive Q&A with cast members, as they reflect on the film’s legacy, its impact on the community, and what it means to tell our stories, our way.
