When East Meets East

When an aspiring Chinese actress goes to an audition and is told, "You are trying to be what you are not. You should be more Chinese," she is understandably confused. What exactly does it mean to be "more Chinese" for people of Asian descent who have relocated to or were born in North America? This genre-breaking documentary explores the issues of ethnic and cultural identity through interviews with some of today’s most prominent Asian film figures, including Wayne Wang, director of Dim Sum and The Joy Luck Club; Janet Yang, producer of The Joy Luck Club; William Ging Wee Dere; and other filmmakers, actors, and actresses. (53 minutes)
