Reel Asian Festival
I saw this film, Homestay at Reel Asian. It was hilarious and I highly recommend it. Homestay takes on a kind of documentary/reality form as it blends fact and fiction. It’s about this Japanese student, Yasuki who comes to Vancouver and stays with Skeena Reese, a poet/comedian/singer/songwriter. Just as he arrives, Skeena is kicked out of her home, by her step dad. Skeena takes Yasuki on the road to live off the land as she goes to learn about her Tsimshian ancestry. The communication in this film is really interesting and becomes very comedic as the audience is able to understand their conversations through subtitles, while they attempt to communicate but cannot understand each other. The film is charming and hilarious with moments of epiphany.
