Fugetsu-Do
Documentary Short by Kaia Rose
"We had to live the American Dream twice."

An intimate portrait of a sweet shop that has been an anchor for the Japanese-American community in Little Tokyo since 1903. The ingredients of the brightly-colored pieces of mochi-gashi that line Fugetsu-Do's wood-paneled cases include so much more than rice flour and sweet bean paste. Mixed inside are stories of joy and pain, tradition and racism, legacy and loss. Survival is never easy; it’s complicated and messy, full of contradictions and surprises. In the three generations that the Kito Family has been running Fugetsu-Do, the store has become a memory bank for the community and the stories that line its walls could not be more relevant in today's America.

Check out the trailer for Fugetsu-Do here:

QUẬN 13
Documentary Short by Hieu Gray

Paris is home to one of the largest and oldest Vietnamese communities in the world; however, little has been documented about the Vietnamese diaspora in Paris. Filmmaker Hieu Gray aims to change that in her new food documentary “Quận 13” which refers to the Vietnamese name for Paris’ 13th arrondissment or district, home to the city’s Asian Quarter. The 13th may be the starting point, but Gray’s journey takes her all over Paris and into the kitchens of the Vietnamese keeping their cultural identity alive through food.

Be sure to check out the trailer here:
