Reel Asian Film Festival Co-Presentation: UNQUENCHABLE

Images Festival is thrilled to co-presented the Reel Asian Film Festival's Shorts Presentation: UNQUENCHABLE.

These films explore desire, both interpersonally and intrapersonally. Between quietly blossoming desires and glowing inner temptations, this collection strides toward you with a sly wink, a shy smile, and a glimmer in its eye.

For: the sensually curious, tenderhearted yearners, audacious flirts, thirst-driven floaters

*Directors in attendance starred

Featuring the works of *Rhea Shukla, Silverfish Pictures, Nicholas Luciano, Jin Lim, *Emma Zuck, Ashok Vish and Birdy Wei-Ting Hung.

Images Festival operates on land stolen from the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Tkáron:to is currently home to diverse Indigenous and Métis peoples as well as people who settle on this land. As part of Treaty 13 and the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Covenant, we acknowledge that we all eat from the same bowl and spoon, and must take only what we need, ensuring resources are available for all.

As art workers, artists, and curators, we see the process of untangling ourselves from settler complicity as internal, structural, and ongoing. It is not something to be taken lightly. The inclusion of Indigenous artists and curators into our program is just the first step of necessary and deeper change. Extending from our organizational accountability work, we strive to not only undo forms of complicity, but also actively create an environment and infrastructure that can support Indigenous peoples who work with us.

Images expresses our solidarity with Indigenous people on Turtle Island and globally. We are committed to continuing to learn, critique, and challenge the settler colonial structures we are complicit in.
