Carnegie Community Centre Theatre — 401 Main St.

One hundred years after the Vancouver anti-Asian race riots, we reflect upon the past and question what the future holds for Asian migrants and First Nations people in Canada. A special program of works by Asian, Aboriginal and South Asian media artists have been selected from the Riot in Vancouver Film Series which commemorated four significant anniversaries that affected Asian migration and citizenship in Canada from 1907, 1947, 1967 and 1997. This program of short films confronts and questions notions of displacement, family, language, race, culture and sexuality. It includes documentaries, experimental works and animation by senior and emerging Canadian or Vancouver-based filmmakers and video artists.
