Short Films by Jess X. Snow

The exquisitely textured, sensorially immersive films of Chinese Canadian artist and filmmaker Jess X. Snow are works of immense heart and healing, opening up a compassionate, imaginative dreamspace in which queer Asian American characters seek liberation from social and familial trauma through everything from the transformative power of drag to the supernatural experiences of teleportation and spiritual release. Suffused with gorgeous light, color, and stirring magical-realist images, Snow’s films honor the struggle and courage it takes to live authentically.
