How can it be? So many great film festivals all over town! This week, you've got the Jewish Film Festival coming up at the Castro, and this Saturday, the Slant Film Festival at the 4 Star (Clement and 23rd).

What's the Slant Film Festival? Asian-American short films! The Texas-based festival is curated by the co-founder of the thoughtful Asian-American zine Hyphen, and is coming to SF for the first time this year. Movies screening include a short documentary about the 1970 murder of a Japanese-American Berkeley cop, allegedly by Black Panthers; some romances; some movies about troubled relationships between parents and children; and an animated clip about the Superfriends' Filipina maid.

Get tickets here! And, if you're so inspired you want to learn more, there's a pre-festival party on Thursday with the Kearny Street Workshop at space180, at 180 Capp (x Mission and 16th). $2-5, 7 p.m.
