Chinese-Canadian filmmaker Yue-Qing Yang returns to her birthplace to unravel the secrets of footbinding, an ancient Chinese custom that saw a sculpted three-inch foot become the feminine ideal. In interviews with aging Chinese women, including her own mother and aunt, Yue-Qing begins to grasp the complexity of this once widespread practice. A thousand years ago, an emperor expressed a preference for women with small feet and his fancy quickly trickled down to the poorer classes. Less interested in aesthetics than in securing wealthy husbands for their daughters, many believed footbinding was a vital right of passage. Four billion Chinese women would have their feet bound before communists banned the practice in 1949. In her travels across today's China, Yue-Qing encounters great difficulty finding archival material and even greater resistance convincing elderly women to reveal their re-shaped feet to the camera. She meets many villagers who continue to idealize the grace of the lotus-feet woman and shoe collectors who discuss the exquisite art and sexuality of footbinding. She also visits the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, where Columbia University Professor Dorothy Ko mounts her show Every Step a Lotus and contends that footbinding was not the tragedy modern thinkers make it out to be. Both personal journey and political awakening, Yue-Qing's deeply affecting documentary dwells ultimately on the deep scars footbinding has left for generations of Chinese women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDirectors: Yue-Qing Yang\u003cbr\u003eProducers: East-West Film Enterprise, Yue-Qing Yang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAward(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Kathleen Shannon Award, Yorkton Short Film \u0026amp; Video Festival\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish and various Chinese dialects with English subtitles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHome use and one-time screening for educational use available at \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"https:\/\/watch.movingimages.ca\/products\/rocky-and-joan\" href=\"https:\/\/watch.movingimages.ca\/products\/rocky-and-joan\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewatch.movingimages.ca\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moving Images Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Institutions \/ DVD","offer_id":40651285201084,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Institutions \/ 3 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285233852,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Institutions \/ 5 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285266620,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Institutions \/ DVD \u0026 3 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285299388,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Institutions \/ DVD \u0026 5 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285332156,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Community \/ DVD","offer_id":40651285364924,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Community \/ 3 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285397692,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Community \/ 5 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285430460,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Community \/ DVD \u0026 3 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285463228,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Community \/ DVD \u0026 5 Year DSL","offer_id":40651285495996,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1477\/7020\/products\/Footbinding-SearchfortheThreeInchGoldenLotus_WEBSITE.jpg?v=1632359876"},{"product_id":"henry-s-glasses","title":"Henry's Glasses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis short drama is set in 1945, in internment camps for Canadians of Japanese origin.

Throughout this period, young Korean girls were taken from their families and forced into prostitution.

She meets the elderly Nam Dong-Soon, a Korean woman arrested and tortured in the early days of occupation, who survived to devote herself to raising orphans.

The spark for this film was ignited at a Koga family reunion in Kelowna, British Columbia. Looking around at all his relatives, Stearns realized that everyone in his Japanese Canadian family had married interracially after his grandparents' generation. This spurred him to investigate and to explain statistical evidence that people of Japanese origin marry non-Japanese partners at a rate of 95%, much higher than is the case with people of other origins. Jeff Stearns puts his talents as an animator to task, mixing them with keen observations, frank discussions with four generations of his family, and a humorous and personable approach.

His love of art continued in his new country as he embraced all kinds of new traditions and made them his own, while operating his restaurant for a living. Over the years, his paintings took over the restaurant, including the kitchen, eventually resulting in closure of the restaurant by the City Health Department. Artists such as Joe Fafard, Arthur McKay, Edward Poitras and Jack Severson share their memories of the New Utopia, called by many the most important cultural institution in the city, intercut with footage of Roger at work, painting and cooking.
