photo by Dean Buscher Film Festival 2013. An estranged uncle is murdered. The niece he never knew uncovers his complex, conflicted life as a gay man and muses about his life and death in an attempt to comprehend what it means to her.

Plus her Beat Truths (3 min, 2004) about a Toronto bucket drummer.

Also, watch the video State of Yo (9 min, 2007) by Jason Karman about Harvey Lowe (incidentally Carolyn Wong's Great Uncle!) who won the world's first Yo-Yo championship in 1932.

Others: a drama by Jason Karman, Kimchi Fried Dumplings (14 min, 2012) and a MM favourite, Kimchi According to my Kun-Umma! (18 min, 2002) by Samuel Kiehoon Lee - fun, family, and food are the focus of this charming and informative look into Korean culture. Printable event poster
