Chinatown Arts Festival: T!C Premieres: Storytelling Short Films — TONIGHT Oct 25, 7-9PM SOLD OUT✨ Think!Chinatown is proud to present four new T!C-produced short films at the brand new Firehouse: DCTV’s (@dctvny) Cinema for Documentary Film. Storytelling project this season honor pioneering community advocates like Yee Ling Poon and Tomie Arai. Event info can be found on our website (link in bio) https://www.thinkchinatown.org/artsfest 🎶The screening will be followed by a special performance by @treyalam and @taiyona, inspired by the songs included in the Yellow Pearl publication by Chris Kando Iijima, Joanne Nobuko Miyamoto, and "Charlie" Chin. 🌟Check out clips from "She Says," a dance film featuring the work of dancer and choreographer, Mei-Yin Ng (@meibewhatever). With excerpts from Sit, Eat, Chew 五味杂陈, Ng will take you on a guided immersive dance through Manhattan’s Chinatown to uncover two personal stories in exterior and interior locations throughout Chinatown. The Chinese proverb – Wǔ Wèi Zá Chén 五味杂陈 – references the five traditional tastes of cooking (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty) to describe the complex emotions in life’s ups and downs. These stories have become the creative and emotional inspiration for the dance theater performance. The stories of two women in two different time periods of Chinatown come to life through this film. Thank you to @thetenementmuseum for hosting our shoot in their exhibit.
