Merging Colours -- Film Description:
"A portrait of three Chinese artists currently living in Montreal, this film achieves a special poignancy due to the relationships that each has developed over the years with director Kei-Wing. Ngan Siu Mui, originally from Hong Kong, has created in the 'Traditional Chinese Cultural Society of Montreal,' a reflection of her art and attitudes towards the West. Yao Kui, formerly well-known in mainland China, paints in a style that merges Western influences with Chinese art. Leng Hong, from Shanghai via Bordeaux, creates landscapes that are marked by his own formal approch to art. Like the director, they are negotiating their paths in a society that is quite different from the ones they left in Asia."
