THE PLAY SALON at the SF Int'l Asian American Film Festival March 9, 2012

The CAAM Salons at this year's San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival are intimate symposium-style lively gatherings. Featured artists working in the different mediums of food, music and games will demonstrate their creative process and storytelling abilities while they make something with the audience.

In the Play Salon, we bring together an esteemed group of innovative and artistic game designers to discuss their work and brainstorm game ideas with the audience. Games are a passion for many, and can be a big part of our daily lives. When a game really moves us emotionally, intellectually, and artistically it can be a profound experience. The featured artists will discuss their history with games, as well as give the audience a taste of their creative process. Bring your game ideas to the salon because it is time to design and play!
