Slightseer (2001) now playing at Cinema Arsenal, Berlin

The Asian Women’s Film Festival in Berlin is almost over. The five day festival (Oct. 15 -20) features work by Asian women. According to their catalogue, “(w)hile gender and ethnicity play a significant role in our programme, it is not intended to be an exclusive criterion for selection. Rather, the festival is conceived as a platform where categories, genres and subjects themselves can be proposed, opposed, declined and negotiated: different ways of re/presentation are welcomed with interest.” The festival is showcasing films & videos from the Asian Diaspora. North Korea, and the Philippines. Along with three other experimental shorts, Slightseer (2001) is playing in the “Black Box” program at the Cinema Arsenal.
