The Claudia Kishi Club
''The Claudia Kishi Club'' is a 2020 short documentary film directed by Sue Ding. Background and synopsis ''The Claudia Kishi Club'' revolves around Claudia Kishi, a character from Ann M. Martin's novel series ''The Baby-Sitters Club''. A Japanese-American, Claudia was a notable exception to a dearth of Asian-American characters in children's literature, particularly a character that had a large reach as a part of a popular series and often resisted stereotype. Sue Ding told the ''Daily Bruin'' that in 2013, she noticed an outbreak of content from Asian-Americans about Claudia; in 2018, she successfully crowdfunded a documentary project. In ''The Claudia Kishi Club'', director Sue Ding interviews multiple Asian-Americans who grew up with ''The Baby-Sitters Club'', discussing the impact Claudia had on them as a child. The interviewees include Naia Cucukov, producer of a 2020 TV adaptation of ''The Baby-Sitters Club''; Sarah Kuhn, a sci-fi novelist; Gale Galligan, a graphic no ...

2020 Films
2020 in film is an overview of events, including the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, critics' lists of the best films of 2019, festivals, a list of country-specific lists of films released, and notable deaths. Evaluation of the year The year was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous films originally scheduled for theatrical release postponed or released on video on demand or streaming services.

As a result, numbers will grow if they are re-released in the future to compensate for the impact this pandemic has had on consumers and film-watchers. Highest-grossing films The top films released in 2020 by worldwide gross are as follows: After being re-released in 4K in China, earning $26.4 million, the overall gross for the 2001 film ''Ha ...
