Join us for a screening of the documentary “Beam Me Up, Sulu.”

Reserve Tickets

In 1985, the actor George Takei, best known for his portrayal of Sulu on Star Trek, joined a group of dedicated fans to make a student film deep in the California forest—only for the footage to mysteriously vanish. Nearly 40 years later, “Beam Me Up, Sulu” unearths this lost film, revealing not just a piece of fan history but a broader story of representation, resilience, and the ongoing fight for inclusion in media and society. From Tribeca Films.

Running Time: 1h 30m

Concessions will be available for purchase. Asian Box, the Cha May Ching Museum Boutique, and all galleries will remain open until 8 p.m.
