For the 3rd consecutive year, Fiesta Asia is bringing unique, seldom seen before, diverse movies from around the world to Washington D.C.  This year we are privileged to be screening four fascinating films including a U.S. Premiere & a Washington D.C Premiere at one of D.C.’s most well kept secret, West End Cinema at Georgetown on May 3^rd.

The selection of films crosses multiple genres –  “Bear It” (D.C. Premiere) from Taiwan brings out the innocence in all of us; “Noodles” tells us to expect the unexpected; “The Refugee” reminds us the flaws of humanity; and “Nasi Lemak 2.0” (U.S. Premiere) showcases a microcosm of multicultural society.

Movies tell stories of a lifetime within compressed time period. To be able to experience the joy, sorrows, ambiguities, struggles, love, hatred, enlightenment these diverse cultures have to offer in under two hours is certainly a treat that no one should miss! Visit our film page for more details!

Directly from Dushanbe, ZULKHAMS is here to present D.C. with  the best of Tajikistan’s fusion folk music.  Lively, vibrant, joyous, intense are just some of the adjectives expressed about ZULKHAMS’ music. By using eclectic instruments such as Dayareh, Tablak, Rubab, Ney & Ghijak, ZULKHAMS weave a melodic tapestry that will charm souls and lift spirits!

With successful performances in Paris, New Delhi, Moscow & NYC, ZULKHAMS is ready for Washington D.C. Do not miss this one and only opportunity to experience Tajik Beat!
