Honggui YaoOriginally produced by KimStim in 2023.20 year-old Lynn is told she needs English classes, flight attendant school, and a go getter-attitude. She perseveres along this path of upward mobility until she finds out she’s pregnant. Indecisive and running out of time, she tells her boyfriend she’s had an abortion and instead returns to her feuding parents and their failing clinic to try and figure out (if she can) what’s next.Built from interviews with college women happy to invest in themselves, observations of a post-Tik Tok China, and their own lived experiences, STONEWALLING is perceptive with meticulous attention to detail. Returning with a now adult Yao Honggui (Foolish Bird, Egg and Stone) opposite the directors’ own parents, husband-and-wife team Huang Ji and Ryuji Otsuka take a look at the new norms of gig-economy, grey markets, MLMs, and hustling in modern-day metropolitan China through the experiences of one ordinary young woman.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Independent films.; Motion pictures--China.; Motion pictures--Asia.;

Chinnaro Some, Hout Sithorn, Ok Sokha, Piseth ChhunOriginally produced by KimStim in 2021.Twenty-year-old Samnang and two friends live in the White Building, a landmark tenement in Phnom Penh that welcomed many artists and performers upon their post-Khmer Rouge return. In this fast-changing Cambodian city, the three young men practice dance routines, dreaming of television talent contests while their parents lead a more traditional lifestyle. Soon, the White Building will be demolished, and the stable environment Samnang has always called home is on shaky ground. Recalling slow-cinema titans like Tsai Ming-liang, this striking debut by Kavich--whose own family was evicted from the White Building in 2017--won the Venice Film Festival' Horizon section's award for Best Actor (Piseth Chhun).Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Drama.; Motion pictures--Asia.;
