Vicki Van Chau has been on the rise in the film scene over the past five years thanks to her short films, which poetically tell the stories of Chinese dishes and Chinese culture

premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival earlier this fall and is the official follow-up to. The film went on to screen at the Edmonton Short Film Festival and Toronto Food Film Festival as well as Devour!

Ms. Van Chau says the fiery colours – from the flame under the wok but also the red and orange hues of the crab itself – alongside the lion-dance costumes make for a perfect pairing. “Representation in the media is so important,” she says, “Not only are you reaching out to audiences that see themselves and make them feel proud of their own identities, you are providing an accessible way for audiences to be introduced to these cultures … and what more accessible way to learn about a culture than through food?”
