Asian Canadian History and Film at UBC with Ali Kazimi: Random Acts of Legacy

Presented by the UBC Department of Theatre and Film

Please join Ali Kazimi (documentary filmmaker, York University) for a screening of his award-winning film Random Acts of Legacy (2016).

Random Acts of Legacy utilizes an abandoned set of home movies to explore the extraordinary, and yet very normal, lives of a Chinese American family from the time of the Great Depression to the post-war period. The film presents an intimate portrait of an amazing man and woman, and their legacy.

Join Ali Kazimi and UBC students for a screening of student documentary films on Punjabi Canadian history for a related event on Thursday, February 8 at 4 pm at St. John’s College Social Lounge (2111 Lower Mall, UBC).

Ali Kazimi’s film will also be screened on February 9,  7-10 p.m. at Emily Carr University of Art and Design’s Reliance Theatre, with the additional support of DOXA Film Festival; SFU Humanities; Vancity at SFU Woodwards; Centre A Gallery; and Rungh Magazine.
