Unsung Voices 10 presenting at The Cheongju International Short Film Festival

18 Aug, 2022

Toronto Reel Asian International Festival is excited to announce our Unsung Voices 10’s shorts will be presented at the 19th Cheongju International Short Film Festival! Taking place August 18 – 22, four incredible short films by Ganesh Thava, Harman Kang, James Legaspi, and Weeda Azim will be screened as part of Cheongju International Short Film Festival’ special programme on August 20th. Reel Asian’s very own shorts programmer Kelly Liu served on the jury for this year.

The Unsung Voices Summer Youth Video Production Workshop provides young Asian Canadians who have a keen interest in film and media art the chance to express themselves as artist, learn from professionals in the field, and to produce a distinctly Asian Canadian story on screen. In the 10th edition of Unsung Voices, our four filmmakers embarked on a summer-long filmmaking journey online. For more information on our Unsung Voices 10, click here.
