AUSTIN PREMIERE followed by Q&A with filmmakers in attendance
Chinatown Cha-Cha follows Coby Yee, a 93-year-old former nightclub dancer, as she joins the Grant Avenue Follies—a troupe of Chinatown’s golden-age performers—for one last tour. From San Francisco to Havana to China, their performances reignite cultural pride. What started as a quest to document overlooked Chinese American performers became an intimate portrait of resilience, legacy, and the enduring power of art—even in life’s final act. - Tony Nguyen, Feature Film Programmer
