Join our Festival filmmakers and Industry guests for an informal luncheon in a most serene setting where we will announce this year’s winner of the NFB Best Canadian Short Film Award at VAFF.
The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, the first of its kind outside of China, is an authentic representation of an age old garden tradition that reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The Garden is characteristic of the private spaces within a Ming scholar’s residence. With its asymmetrical arrangement of rocks and plants, its winding paths and corridors, and the vistas that overlook its courtyards, the Garden emulates the rhythms of nature. Ming dynasty scholars, the elite of their time, lived and worked in their garden, sharing these enchanting spaces with friends and family of all ages. Like any home, a scholar’s garden was filled with energy, but also offered quiet moments for contemplation. The golden glow of the autumn sun illuminates a dazzling array of maple and gingko leaves in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange.
