Synthesized sounds. Teenage rebellion. Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai was on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious punks in the chaotic world of 80s Vietnamese New Wave until she uncovers a hidden past.NEW WAVE tell a story of joy and youthful defiance as it explores a musical phenomenon in the 1980s known to Vietnamese American teens as new wave. As Elizabeth Ai delves into the lives of family members and icons of the new wave scene, she uncovers much more than just music and fashion. In the heart of Orange County, California, this counterculture movement takes the youth by storm, becoming a sanctuary for rebellious teens. The fun Euro-synth dance beats and punk/goth aesthetics mask deep traumas—broken dreams and unfulfilled expectations that have shaped her community. As the filmmaker digs deeper, the excavation becomes an emotional journey, unraveling mysteries that touch on cultural identity, generational trauma, and the Vietnam War’s lasting impact.Enjoy a virtual discussion with filmmaker Elizabeth Ai and guests.
