Yellow Peril: Queer Futures

Short Film, 2022, 11:49
Film by: Jen Sungshine, David Ng, Queen Maiden China
Chapter openings produced, shot & edited by: Christian Yves Jones

Shortly after releasing “Yellow Peril: Queer Destiny” in 2019, the world shifted all around us, with COVID-19 related xenophobia giving new meaning to the themes of “yellow peril” and “queer Asian futures” that was explored in the first film “YELLOW PERIL: QUEER DESTINY” (2019). The filmmakers, Kendell, Jen, and David decided to revisit the film and add two bonus chapters, on the themes of destruction and rebirth. “YELLOW PERIL: QUEER FUTURES” (2022) will feature Maiden China as she reflects on making art in response to anti-Asian violence, the pandemic, and making art for her own joy through humour and love.
