The 2010 Asian American Film Festival will be showing films in San Francisco and San Jose March 11-21. Its official website is http://festival.asianamericanmedia.org/2010/

There won't be an official group or dinner afterwards, but if you let Helen Yamauchi know after you purchase your tickets, she can keep a list of those planning to go and email it to everyone.
