A LETTER TO CHINATOWN, 47min., UK
Directed by Alexandra D'Onofrio, Elena Barabantseva
A 21st century coming of age story, we meet Daniel He a decade on from 'British Born Chinese' (2015), no longer living in his family takeaway, but preparing to graduate from Oxford University. Within a matter of weeks, life rapidly propels him from train to train, city to city and headlong into adulthood. 'A Letter To Chinatown' is a poetic, philosophical and emotional journey across time and place, in search of self and belonging.
