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.

Running (heart body mind spirit), a 5 minute animated film that riffs on amf's theories of acupuncture-- was commissioned by the Victoria Film Festival as part of the Victoria Symphony's Reel Music competition. Four composers were selected from across Canada to create a score for the film, that was performed, live, with the symphony orchestra at the Royal Theatre on Jan. 26, 2008.  The jury, the audience and the filmmaker all agreed that the score that worked best with the film was written by Maxime Goulet, from Montreal.
