In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, enjoy a private screening with your fellow Ivy+ alumni of the reimagined The Wedding Banquet, based on the 1993 Ang Lee classic.
Director Andrew Ahn has remade this joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Starring Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-chan, Joan Chen, and Youn Yuh-jung, The Wedding Banquet is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.
Watch the official movie trailer here.
After the movie, there will be an optional no-host social at Campus Bar, a block away from the movie theater at 2241 Chestnut Street.
Registration ends on Saturday, May 3 at 1:30 pm or when tickets are sold out, so buy your ticket(s) today. Wear your Cornell red!
