Cultural Writing. Film studies. In Reel Asian: Asian Canada on Screen, contributors, many of them filmmakers, examine Southeast Asian Canadian contributions to independent film and video. This collection highlights the screen as a site for the reflection, projection 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. Distinguished film- and video-makers, artists and cultural critics address a wide array of topics, genres, regional concerns and historical contexts in provocative, original essays and one-on-one conversations. The first anthology of its kind, the volume also includes a substantial selection of images and stills, and a resources section providing detailed artist and distribution information.
