DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE

Performance artist and photographer William Yang has created a spellbinding account of the lives of several friends with AIDS intertwined with stories from his own Chinese-Australian family history. Yang uses poignant slides of friends and family to narrate his tale. Interspersed are reenactments of a 1920-murder mystery surrounding the death of Yang's uncle. The talented Australian director, Tony Ayres (China Dolls, Mrs. Craddock's Complaint), has brought Sadness originally a one-man show, to the screen.

This program also includes two short works by Vancouver filmmaker Wayne Yung. Angel is a poetic exploration of one man's fall from grace, as he becomes disillusioned with gay ideals of desire. In Search Engine, a young man uses digital technology to remember boyfriends past, and search for boyfriends future.
