Reel Asian: Asian Canada on Screen | Westcoast Launch
An anthology of Asia Canada on screen? Oh yes, it's been done, it's been published, and you should grab it as it comes hot off the presses. The Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival presents REEL ASIAN: ASIAN CANADA ON SCREEN ($29.95), the first-ever collection of writings of its kind to explore East and Southeast Asian Canadian contributions to the large and small screens.
Inside Reel Asian: Asian Canada on Screen, you'll find biographies of the 38 contributors (list under the cut), distributor contact info, full-colour film stills, and photo-essays as well as traditional interviews to instant-messaging scripts. The book brings together creators of award-winning features and acclaimed experimental shorts; critics, curators, artists and activists; enemy aliens, impersonators, ex-pats and 'Food Jammers' to explore how history and culture have played out onscreen.

The first book of its kind, this anthology explores the idea that ‘Asian Canada’ is less a demographic category than it is a term of art.
From artist-run centres, theories of hyphenation, gay and lesbian cinema, new media technologies and sweet 'n' sour controversies, Reel Asian is a multi-faceted picture of independent Asian film in Canada and features a substantial selection of images and stills.
Contributors include Nobu Adilman, Jason Anderson, Leon Aureus, Cameron Bailey, Romeo Candido, Lily Cho, Nicole Chung, Mary J. Daniel, David Eng, Ann Marie Fleming, Richard Fung, Monika Kin Gagnon, Colin Geddes, Mike Hoolboom, Alice Ming Wai Jim, Cheuk Kwan, Julia Kwan, Kwoi, Anita Lee, Helen Lee, Karin Lee, Keith Lock, Pamila Matharu, Christine Miguel, Nguyen Tan Hoang, Midi Onodera, Mieko Ouchi, Alice Shih, Mina Shum, Mary Stephen, Ho Tam, Khanhthuan Tran, Paul Wong, Su-Anne Yeo, Iris Yudai and Wayne Yung.
