  3. The Curse of Quon Gwon


The Curse of Quon Gwon, the earliest known Chinese American feature film, directed by Marion E. Wong in 1916, lights up the Sierra Madre Playhouse’s fabled silver screen on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 8 pm. Accompanied by live piano, the recently rediscovered silent film tells a poignant story of cultural conflict within a Chinese American family as they navigate Westernization and traditional values. Long thought to be lost, two reels of this groundbreaking film survived and were restored in 2005, earning a place in the National Film Registry for its historical and cultural significance. This is a rare opportunity to experience a significant piece of early Asian American filmmaking. The screening is part of Sierra Madre Playhouse’s multi-week Lunar New Year Festival.
