Canadian Spotlight: Romeo Candido

Romeo Candido is a singular talent. A writer, director, and musician, his creative catalogue of work comprising musicals, horror, and comedy is a unique adventure. What else would you expect from the first Filipino born in Newfoundland?

Set in the 1990s, South Korean immigrant and single mother So-young looks to make a fresh start in a West Coast Canadian suburb with her son Dong-hyun.

Reel Ideas Symposium: Specificity Drives Authenticity

This year’s Reel Ideas Conference gathers industry professionals, filmmakers, and performers to reflect on the specificity in their works, representing their own nuances along with their communities' lived experiences.

Features

Have a cinematic encounter with the stars of today as they take you through their
worlds of fiction, and documentary, reflecting on connections with their community, their culture, and imagined worlds captured in feature-length.

Shorts

Great things come in small packages. Our eclectic short film programmes, like your favourite mixtapes, are sure to have something for everyone. Laugh, cry, sing, and shout with these powerful bursts of cinema.

RA: X PUNCTA

A collaborative exhibition by Jasmine Gui (special projects programmer, RA) & keiko Hart (co-curator), RA:X Puncta aims to present a plurality of punctum moments (as defined by Roland Barthes) that disturb and prick at diasporic Asian narratives and slip beyond an easy legibility of “Asianness”.

Unsung Voices 11

Six first-time and emerging filmmakers embarked on a summer-long filmmaking journey online with the guidance of Reel Asian's Unsung Voices Youth Video Production Workshop. We’re proud to present their world premieres here.

Centrepiece Presentation: The Grizzlie Truth

To most basketball fans, the late 1990s Vancouver era of the Grizzlies franchise is a minor footnote to the exciting and fast-rising current Memphis-based team. But to Grizzlies superfan and director Kat Jayme, the team means so much more to her and her hometown, even 20 years after its departure.

Closing Night: Topline

Romeo Candido’s latest musical foray Topline takes us into the world of topliners: the people who write the lyrics, melodies, and hooks for the industry’s biggest stars.
