“Fred Ho’s Last Year” – Asian American International Film Festival Preview Screening

A homage to the award-winning avant-garde jazz composer, Asian American author and political activist, Fred Ho’s Last Year captures the unapologetic Fred Ho in an unbelievable year as he fights cancer, leads orchestras, holds lectures, leads protests, publishes books, and even produces his magnum opus: an elaborate, manga-inspired samurai opera on a New York stage. Filmed over the course of 2013, the film provides a glimpse into Fred’s extraordinary life as a musician, a mentor, a pioneer and a dear friend who inspired others through his courage and persistence. The preview screening will be followed by a discussion with director Steven de Castro, playwright Ruth Margraff (CAFE ANTASIA), and Fred’s longtime friend Anne T. Greene.
