Synopsis

A multi-layered epic set in the heart of Winnipeg’s historic Chinatown. It is the story of a half-baked opium addict, fighting to preserve Chinatown in the face of “progress.” Photographed on old 16mm color film stocks, combined with found footage, and using a collage technique, Chinatown is a poppy-perfumed protest against the faceless/sameness identity smaller cities get bullied into accepting, often at the expense of real history and identity.
