Synopsis
In 1984, Richard Fung set the record straight on queer Asian people with Orientations. Following 14 people from across the region - Desi Canadians to Chinese migrants - Fung revealed the complex identities, experiences, sexualities and politics of his subjects. Now, 32 years later, he has revisited those same people in Re:Orientations - a journey through recent history that reveals how their lives played out. Against the background of historic Pride marches, the AIDS crisis and fervent political organising, some people found love while others organised against injustice. Then there were those that never made it through. We see his old subjects regarding their younger selves, prompting touching re-evaluations of the present.
