Nov 9th TRAILBLAZERS (REEL ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL, INNIS TOWN HALL)

Five short movies about people who have made a difference in someway in the past in the area they live in.

TOTTE MITSU, LET'S GO TO RUSSIA: A young Western man, his host mother and her friend, make two very quirky movies while on a trip to view the changing colours of leaves in Japan.

BABAH NO ROCK (GRANNY'S ROCK): a doc about a local artist who is as bizzare as her artistic method's and her bar antics.

GRANDPA'S WET DREAM: A doc about a 70 year old Japanese man and his porn career he has hidden from his family all these years.

A DRUMMER'S PASSION: A doc about a famous South Korean drummer who now lives in Toronto. A drummer whose personality is larger then life and even bigger then the youtube video that made him famous in the West.

THE SUGAR BOWL: A documentary about a small island in the Philipines, that was one of the world's largest producers of sugar cane. Focuses too much on the descendents of the few families who got rich off this crop and shows almost nothing of the actual crop and how it is grown or harvested.
