YANK is a film season all about depictions of american culture in popular american cinema; delving in the american dream, american realities and everything in between.
YANK is a season about America as seen through its own lens — loud, conflicted, mythic, and deeply self-conscious. These films chart the hopes, failures, and contradictions that define America. Whether drenched in irony or deadly serious, each film captures a version of the nation’s identity: industrial giant, cultural empire, war machine, spiritual wilderness and no much more.
High school musicals, roadside diners, desert highways and shopping malls become battlegrounds for bigger questions — about power, freedom, violence and belonging. YANK doesn’t ask what America is, but how it sees itself, and how that vision has shaped the world.
