SUMMARY:Seeing through the lens: MASTERCLASS
DESCRIPTION:Spanning geographies and generations\, Richard Fung’s body of work navigates identity\, memory\, and belonging across Trinidad\, Toronto\, and beyond. From exploring his Moruga-born mother’s life through the lens of postcolonial migration\, to tracing the journey of dal puri from Canada to Bihar\, to documenting queer Asian communities in Toronto – Fung’s films ask how we negotiate space\, visibility\, and relation. His subjects include the falsely accused\, the displaced\, the diasporic\, and the everyday – always treated with nuance and care.  \nIn this intimate session\, Fung shares excerpts from both his experimental and documentary films\, offering insight into the aesthetic and conceptual choices that shape his practice. He reflects on how visual storytelling can give ‘minor’ stories space to be seen and heard\, and how formal strategies – such as hybridity\, voice\, and fragmentation – can deepen our understanding of relationality. Whether mapping transnational journeys or quiet domestic moments\, Fung’s work challenges dominant frames and invites us to rethink how film can witness\, connect\, and intervene. \n. \n🎫 THIS MASTERCLASS IS AVAILABLE TO INDUSTRY PASS HOLDERS \n🔗 ALL ACCESS INDUSTRY PASSES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE ONLY AT ISLAND eTICKETS \n🔗 26 SEPT. INDUSTRY DAY PASSES AVAILABLE AT ISLAND eTICKETS
