Visual Communications and Long Distance podcast are proud to present Linda Mabalot’s 1978 documentary film MANONG on October 25, Larry Itliong Day, during Filipino American History Month. Mabalot’s narration, combined with archival images, animated sequences, and poignant interviews with old members of the manong generation offer deep insight into the lives of some of the first Filipinos in America.

As part of the Little Tokyo Community Council, Visual Communications is partnering to produce the Haunted Little Tokyo Film Festival! Come watch John Carpenter’s PRINCE OF DARKNESS, some of which was filmed in the Visual Communications office! All events are free to attend.
