Nov 8: Program 7 - Life In Multiculture: Canadian Shorts

Our LIFE IN MULTICULTURE Canadian Shorts program celebrates la vie est multicolore, in every sense of the term—presenting a mélange of genres, styles, topics and themes both familiar and fresh, reflecting the myriad cultural, sexual and individualistic identities of Canadian Asian and hapa diaspora. In the mix are the winning entries for this year’s VAFF RedPacketChallenge, an ultra short and micro film contest; and a curated film from the University of British Columbia’s Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies filmmaking course.
