Are you the girls who made that movie?

The thread trickles down from one wrist to the next. Wow, look at that colour! So ethnic. You drippin' desi-chica-chandni— "Are you the girls who made that movie?" Are You Those Brown Girls? I've been one of the lucky few who can forget, from time to time, the weight that identity, race, and culture can bear on you. In my past, a lot of learning happened through books and coming-of-age novels, or in periphery through recounts of stories by people who've been pinned to the wall by their skin and

VSFF '25 | 'Unibrow' Director Nedda Sarshar On The Power of Short Film and "Messy Diaspora" Stories

The Vancouver Short Film Festival starts today! It's going to be a fantastic weekend for all short film lovers (myself included) in the city. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity this week to speak with Nedda Sarshar, a Toronto-based writer/director whose film Unibrow is featured in this years fest. Nedda Sarshar When I sat down to watch Unibrow, I knew I was in for something special from the very start. If you've ever been a young girl, you're probably familiar with the sinking feelin

VSFF '25 Reviews | We Were, Tailor Made, The Neighbourhood at the End of the World

As a part of the Peliplat content team, I’ve had the opportunity to dive into some short films that are screening at this year's Vancouver International Short Film Festival. Although there's no set theme for the festival, I didn’t expect memory to be the thread that would tie these films together. Through complete randomness, these stories about love, heartbreak, exile, and doppelgangers are in dialogue with each other. Even more unexpected was the fact that, years ago, I was (very briefly and t

This weekend (June 13-15) is the Vancouver Short Film Festival. I was fortunate enough to get screeners for a few of the short films scheduled for the festival, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the ones I watched. So, without further adieu, here is my review of three films that are set to screen at VSFF '25: Desync, My Roommate Ahriman, and Stand in. Desync, directed by Minerva Navasca, tells the story of Filipina writer-director Ana (Jadyn Nasato) and the process she goes through to create

VSFF '25 Reviews | Queen of the Underworld, Mum, Body Varial

June 13–15 is the weekend to watch inspiring up-and-coming directors shine at the Vancouver Short Film Festival. I had the pleasure of getting early access to three of the short films screening this weekend. These films range from 8 to 15 minutes in length—these brief windows of storytelling come with both limitations and creative opportunity. With so little time, it’s a challenge to convey emotional depth, character development, and narrative arc. So, did the three I watched deliver? Let’s take
