Do Wok a Do --
Description du film [en anglais] :
« A dramatic short set in the seventies about a young Chinese-Canadian girl growing up on the prairies. It's been said that Canadian towns first put up churches and Chinese restaurant, and if you've ever traveled along the national routes of the railways you'll understand why all roads lead to egg rolls with plum sauce. Joanne is the hyphenated child of the drama, whose family runs the only Chinese restaurant in St. Paul, Alberta. If you know your Prarie lore you surely know that this town's claim to fame is that it was home to the world's only UFO landing. This odd factoid appeals to Joanne, who daydreams of Bruce Lee and intergalactic possibilities. It's so interesting how one filmmaker's personal mythology can resonate with audiences far from the maddening prairies. This is one fine example of how films matter—when the matter of film is good. »
