A series of film screenings and special events exploring Chinese and ESEA diasporic identities, migration and lesser known histories. The programme will be presented from September – November across venues in London in celebration of ESEA Heritage Month.
The film season is composed of a selection of British Chinese cinema that have previously not received a big-screen reception in the UK, as well as documentaries that trace Chinese migration in other cultures including Canada, US, Costa Rica and Cuba. Juxtaposing cinema classics with contemporary voices of 2nd generation immigrant and mixed heritage filmmakers, Sine Screen hopes to highlight the complexities and nuanced dimensions of East and Southeast Asian diaspora experience.
Shorts programme 03: Ghosts of diaspora presents documentary and experimental films that trace lesser-known histories of migration and injustice still echoing today through archival gaps, urban myth and ghost stories.
