SUMMARY:KDocsFF 2023
DESCRIPTION:As Metro Vancouver’s premier social justice film festival\, KDocsFF celebrates the power of documentary film and documentary activism. The annual KDocsFF film festival showcases award-winning documentary films\, keynote speakers\, filmmakers\, panelists\, Q&As\, exhibitors\, performances\, and community partners. Participants engage in lively discussions\, debates\, and dialogues as they investigate today’s most pressing global issues. \nKDocsFF proudly operates five engagement streams: our Annual Film Festival\, our Year-round Program\, our Community Outreach Program\, our YouTube Channel (“KDocs Talks”)\, and\, coming in 2023\, our new Social Justice Lab. \nKDocsFF programming is all about engagement\, critical thinking\, and dialogue—amongst diverse viewers\, speakers\, and communities. Films are selected based on their ability to provoke\, not just superficial reactions\, but deeper awareness\, connections\, and collaborations—of/to/with ourselves\, each other\, and our communities. With these connections\, KDocsFF\, in turn\, explores issues of social justice\, anti-oppression\, human and animal rights\, equality\, diversity\, and sustainability\, near and far\, as we educate the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow. At KDocsFF\, activism originates in the power of the individual\, and the influence of the collaborative collective. Hopefully\, our film and programming choices both give a voice—to filmmakers—and nurture a voice—of creative solution-building.

SUMMARY:Incite: Superfan: Jen Sookfong Lee
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with Vancouver Public Library.  \nMusic. Movies. Celebrity crushes. Pop culture permeates all levels of our lives\, from the entertainment we consume (or abhor) to the memes we make and share with friends. Jen Sookfong Lee has been at the centre of this commentary for years\, as author\, lifestyle commentator\, podcaster\, and now memoirist of Superfan: How Pop Culture Broke My Heart\, a searing\, revelatory\, and intimate collection exploring the ways in which pop culture has shaped—and unshaped—Lee throughout her life. \nJoined by longtime Festival friend and Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman\, this special Incite event will celebrate Lee’s debut memoir-in-pieces\, and explore all the ways in which pop culture intersects with the reality of so many\, how our collective obsessions make and break us\, and why our fascinations persist in spite of it all. \nFROM THE PUBLISHER \nA sharply observed and beautifully intimate memoir-in-pieces that uses one woman’s life-long love affair with pop culture as a revelatory lens to explore family\, identity\, belonging\, grief\, and the power of female rage. \nFor most of Jen Sookfong Lee’s life\, pop culture was an escape from family tragedy and a means of fitting in with the larger culture around her. Anne of Green Gables promised her that\, despite losing her father at the age of twelve\, one day she might still have the loving family of her dreams. Princess Diana was proof that maybe there was more to being a good girl after all. And yet as Jen grew up\, she began to recognize the ways in which pop culture was not made for someone like her—the child of Chinese immigrant parents who looked for safety in the invisibility afforded by embracing model minority myths. \nRanging from the unattainable perfection of Gwyneth Paltrow and the father-figure familiarity of Bob Ross\, to the long shadow cast by The Joy Luck Club and the life lessons she has learned from Rihanna\, Jen weaves together key moments in pop culture with stories of her own failings\, longings\, and struggles as she navigates the minefields that come with carving her own path as an Asian woman\, single mother\, and writer. And with great wit\, bracing honesty\, and a deep appreciation for the ways culture shapes us\, she draws direct lines between the spectacle of the popular\, the intimacy of our personal bonds\, and the social foundations of our collective obsessions. \nAttend all Incite all season\, in-person or online! This readings series offers conversations with celebrated authors and emerging talents every two weeks from January to June. Incite is free and open to all. Books will be for sale courtesy of Book Warehouse (a division of Black Bond Books).\nLEARN MORE
