Abstrakt(y)
The article examines the representation of multicultural experience in Canadian film of the early 1990s. Using three case studies of feature films made by Asian-Canadian filmmakers - Sam and Me (Deepa Mehta, 1991), Masala (Shrinivas Krishna, 1991), and Double Happiness (Mina Shum, 1994) - the text focuses on how up and coming minority filmmakers cinematically addressed various aspects of diasporic identity and identity formation.
