Shorts In Conversation – Curated by Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival

Our series, “Shorts In Conversation,” makes a moment for cinema and dialogue. We invite an organization to curate a showing of films alongside their makers, followed by the directors in dialogue about their craft. The month of June begins our partnership with Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival.  Screening focuses on queer Asian filmmakers.

In celebration of pride, this program will focus on the abundant stories & narratives crafted by Toronto-based queer Asian filmmakers. Works by Maya Bastian, (Tigress, 2020), Tricia Hagoriles (Huwag Mataranta, 2020) and Tiffany Hsiung (Sing Me a Lullaby, 2020).

All films screening will be accompanied with open captions or English subtitles (all languages will be subtitled, including English).

For any access needs (or accessibility concerns) for the events, please contact michael.nyarkoh@acehotel.com. Any ASL interpreter requests must be booked 72 hours in advance.
