A must-see documentary for both Asian and non-Asian students. PARTY explores modern Asia-America through the prism of New York's Asian party scene, where each week, thousands of young Asian-Americans receive e-mails for the weekend's parties which are held at mainstream ("White") venues. Going behind the scenes and documenting the lives and struggles of both the promoters and the party-goers, PARTY focuses on the closely-knit but vibrant Korean party scene, whose nerve center sits in Manhattan's Koreatown. Featuring narration by Columbia University professor Gary Okihiro, PARTY also examines the controversial "Tsunami Song" - highlighting the effect of the racially-charged song on the Asian party scene where hip-hop is the music of choice. A well-produced documentary, PARTY probes beneath the "safe space" exterior to reveal a honest mosaic of modern Asian-American life in between the parties. (87 min.)
