AHM | Sense of Wonder | Asian Heritage Month Tour in Vancouver May 25, 2010
By Tamiko Ogura
In celebration of Asian Heritage Month (May!), Toronto's Reel Asian (Toronto's Asian Film Festival) is going cross-Canada in its first tour of thought-provoking Asian Canadian short films.

This program entitled SENSE OF WONDER: Asian Canadian Film & Videos will be seen in 4 different cities this May (click here for info):
* Winnipeg - May 13
* Montreal - May 16
* Ottawa - May 18
* Vancouver - May 25
SENSE OF WONDER features 8 Asian Canadian short films and videos by directors Leslie Supnet, Victoria Cheong, Jong Wook Choi, Lydia Fu, Paramita Nath, Randall Okita, Yung Chang, Richard Fung, John Greyson & Ali Kazimi.
The Vancouver screening of SENSE OF WONDER on May 25 @ The Pacific Cinematheque will have Randall Okita and Lydia Fu in attendance.
I was able to catch SENSE OF WONDER when it showed at the 2009 Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival. I have to *jumpy clap* over Lydia Fu's short film Permute. Loved it. Hey, I'm saw the films with a regular filmgoer's eyes ... which is why I have to admit (and probably will be scorned by the oh-so-arty souls) that I had no idea what in heavens was going on with Randall Okita's Fish in a Barrel. True, yes, but it looks really good and I can still remember it most from all the others, so that's saying something I hope.
On the flip side, all the film aficionados and film festival programmers were left gushing on how fantastic Fish in a Barrel is, so that's a better measure of the film.

I'm so glad to hear that they are coming to Vancouver! Thanks for posting this up! It's hard to come by information like this outside the city... in the middle of no where.
