Chinatown is an evocative place. It exists in our cities, in our imaginations, on our television screens, and in our memories. It is at once a sprawling, vibrant immigrant community and a forgotten strip mall of buffet restaurants. Chinatown is the ultimate Hollywood metaphor and a space where families still live.
The Chinatown Film Project tackles Chinatown’s elusiveness and its stereotyped representations by constructing new images for the viewer. The project starts locally, where we ask ten of New York’s most exciting filmmakers to present their unique visions of this global icon.
Featuring ten original short films and videos of Chinatowns from all over the world, as seen on MOCA’s YouTube Channel.

This hour-long film was produced and directed by two San Francisco Bay Area, Chinese-American filmmakers, Rae Chang and Adam Tow. It explores the extraordinary life of the “Chinese Joan of Arc” Qiu Jin (1875 – 1907). Qiu Jin attempted an armed uprising against the corrupt Qing Dynasty and became the first female martyr for China’s 1911 Revolution. She is celebrated as a national heroine in China today.
