Program 2: Love You Short Time

Fri. Nov. 7th, 5:00 PM

Making short films has always been one of the best ways to hone the craft of filmmaking. Whether it’s attempting to express a single idea or theme, or to explore different styles and genres, or to produce big results with very little money, filmmakers definitely get better with each film they produce. Several filmmakers in this program are returning here: Angela How, Frank Yeean Chan and Jeff Chan. And this program is where we showcase VAFF’s annual Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon competition winners.

A Fistful Of Doll Hairs

Director: Nicholas Westbridge | Producers: Nicholas Westbridge, Josette Jorge, Ric Lee | Writer: Shay Wilson
Narrative | Beta SP | Colour | 2008 | 7 minutes | Canada

After being pushed over the edge by her mildly annoying roommate, Jennifer flies into a homicidal rage. But her problems are far more persistent than she realizes. This was an entry in a 48-hour filmmaking contest incorporating various guidelines and creative elements. Grand prize judge and Hollywood director Joe Dante declared it “a triumph of wit over budget!”

Memoirs Of The Last Samurai’s Geisha

Director: Chad Band | Producers: Suzi Nitta Petersen, Michele Nitta | Writer: Liz Nunoda
Narrative | Digital | Colour | 2008 | 9 minutes | Canada

Tracy Takahashi Torvaldsen works as a background performer (“movie extra”) where she is usually a blur in a crowd. But when a shoot calls for her to dress in a kimono, she is no longer anonymous. Strangers mistakenly think she is a geisha.

Curse Of The Jade Falcon

Director: Tracy D. Smith | Producer/Writer: Ian Tang
Narrative | Digital | Colour | 2008 | 8 minutes | Canada

A mysterious, desperate woman arrives unexpectedly with nowhere to turn. Detective Sam Spade agrees to help – but things are not what they seem. Slyly crafted on many levels and reinventing the first act of the film noir classic THE MALTESE FALCON, the film seamlessly blends an assault of Asian references while adhering to the original’s storyline. Acutely subversive with its Asian stereotypes, the urge to laugh is infectious but – does it cross the line?
