💸 Dons appréciés


La cinéaste Ann Marie Fleming parcourt le monde pour reconstituer l’histoire de son arrière-grand-père, le cosmopolite Long Tack Sam—acrobate et magicien chinois de renommée internationale qui a surmonté l'isolement, la pauvreté, les barrières culturelles et linguistiques, le racisme débridé et les guerres mondiales pour monter l'un des numéros les plus réussis de son époque. Ce documentaire de route tourné à la première personne rend un hommage exaltant, vif et texturé, en célébration de la magie et de l’art de Long Tack Sam.


Ann Marie Fleming est une réalisatrice indépendante dont les œuvres primées, qu'il s'agisse de films d'animation, de drames en prise de vue réelle ou de documentaires, en format court ou long, traitent souvent des thèmes de la famille, de l'histoire et de la mémoire. Née au Japon d'origines chinoise, autrichienne et australienne, elle vit présentement à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique.

Can I Get A Witness? (2024), son dernier long métrage, mettant en vedette Sandra Oh, Keira Jang et Joel Oulette, a été présenté en avant-première au Festival international du film de Toronto (TIFF) et figure sur la liste des 10 meilleurs films canadiens de 2024 du TIFF. Window Horses (2016), avec les voix de Sandra Oh, Shoregh Aghdashloo, Elliot Page et Omid Abtahi, a reçu le Asia Pacific Screen Award du meilleur film d'animation. The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam et Window Horses sont tous deux adaptés en romans graphiques.
