Richard Fung: forty years of radical intimacy TTFF TALK

In conversation with Farrah Rahaman

Richard Fung has been a leading light in Caribbean cinema for over four decades. His works are enmeshments with desire, identity, migration and home. By way of recipes and food ways, tender familial representations, community rooted video production, and moving image portraits of artists, he addresses cultural retention and hybridity, race and belonging, and sexual orientation and all of their slippages. Never pigeon-holed into one subject matter, his practice is defined by ethical rigor, close relationships, and a sensitivity that betrays the omniscient voice of God documentarian. As Fung’s final piece of advice to his LGBTQ studio class at the Ontario College of Art and Design he shared,  “If I leave you with anything to move ahead it’s the importance of curiosity and criticality.” In this talk we hold the breadth of Fung’s career, journeying through his experiences as a filmmaker, writer, teacher and organizer, and what he has learnt from a life of asking questions and finding meaning through video and writing.
