focus was on the North American Asian
diaspora,” she says. “But as time went
on, we realized that we could no longer
ignore the international Asian diaspora,
simply because they were making films
that were really good.” In 2015, foreign
films made up roughly 30 per cent of
VAFF’s features, up from 10 per cent in
previous years.
International exposure is important,
especially considering the political
challenges that many Asian filmmakers
face. “In China, you need government
approval to get anything screened or
even made,” says Chin. The government
also often controls artistic funding or
the lack thereof. This is less of a problem
in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where art
house cinema is funded and champi-
oned by the government. However, in
Singapore and parts of Southeast Asia,
films that are critical of the government
may not be screened in their home
countries. “International film festivals
help because it gives these filmmakers’
stories a forum and audience that they
would not necessarily have access to
otherwise,” says Chin.
Fortunately, film scholars have noted
increased box office success for Asian
movies among domestic audiences.
“Of late, a number of Taiwanese and
Chinese films have been performing
very well in their respective territories
against the onslaught of Hollywood
films. This proves that filmmakers
are presenting stories that are relat-
able, or at the very least appealing,
to local audiences,” says Rowena
Santos Aquino, PhD, a film
lecturer at California State
University, Long Beach. As
Asian filmmakers find more
support from domestic audi-
ences, it is only a matter of
time before their stories
capture the imagination
of moviegoers around
the world.

POCAThe People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA) was
founded in 2011. Their mission is “to work cooperatively to increase
accessibility to and availability of affordable group acupuncture treat-
ments.” POCA is a cooperative. The organization has over 127 clinics in
North America operating under its umbrella, including Poke Community
Acupuncture in Vancouver.
Cris Monteiro, POCA Events Circle coordinator, describes the practice
of community acupuncture as something bigger than simply promoting
holistic treatments. She had been working as an acupuncturist for seven
years before she began community acupuncture training. “One of the
main themes of community acupuncture is to make any health care
affordable by being creative and acting collectively,” she says. “It’s less
important that our modality of care is ‘alternative’ or ‘holistic’ than that
we have developed and proven a model for providing care that is more
affordable and effective.”
Practitioners, volunteers, and patients are welcome to join POCA
to find a place for treatment. POCA also offers education to those who
want to become acupunks, and gives guidance to those who want to
open and maintain a community acupuncture clinic.
the cost are quite different. At a typical
acupuncture session in Vancouver, a practi-
tioner examines one client at a time in what
looks like a doctor’s office. A single session
can cost up to $200. At Poke, like other
community acupuncture clinics, patients
are treated together in a large room. They
sit in comfortable chairs, and the lights are
pleasantly dimmed. The room is silent, and
patients with needles poking out of various
parts of their bodies can be found sleeping
under warm blankets.
Patients controlling their own access to
treatment is one of the aspects of comm-
unity acupuncture that Carroll likes the
most. “In order for people to be healthy, they
have to have a choice. I want to give them
the opportunity to choose their treatment.
So, it’s about empowerment,” she says.
Another advantage is the collective room
setting. The clinic promises that even
though the room is shared, the patients have
their private space respected. Carroll says
that the collective environment actually
helps the healing process because, “Nobody
heals in isolation.” ▲
