In Reel
Asian: Asian Canada on Screen, contributors, many of them film-makers, examine
East and Southeast Asian Canadian contributions to independent film and video.
From artist-run centres, theories of hyphenation, distribution networks and gay
and lesbian cinema to F-words, new media technologies and sweet ’n’ sour
controversies, Reel Asian: Asian Canada on Screenpresents a multi-faceted
picture of independent Asian film in Canada. The collection highlights the
screen as a site for the reflection, projection, contestation and reimagination
of identities and communities, and explores the idea that ‘Asian Canada’ is
less a demographic category than it is a term of art.
