Beginning with San Francisco’s Chinatown, this new series of short films highlights the storied lives of our beloved community. Season One (Fall/Winter 2020) roots in themes of individual and collective transformation during times of crisis, struggle, and hope. From a young resident mobilizing a lifeline to restaurants; the people power activation of community kitchens and distributing meals to the most vulnerable living in SROs; building Asian solidarity with Indigenous and Black-led movements in and around the ‘People’s Park’; music with a dose of magic realism under Covid-skies; and the perseverance of a female headmaster preserving and passing down a four-hundred-year-old Tai Chi form to the next generation, these small and impactful shorts captured before and during shelter-in-place is a time capsule tribute to some of our human pillars in our neighborhood. www.chinatownshorts.com
