If you missed the short documentary “Parallel Adele” during it’s film festival run, you can see it online now. Check out this 15 minute short. Here’s a synopsis:
Two half Vietnamese documentary filmmakers, both named Adele (Adele Pham and Adele Ray), weave a shared narrative of mixed Asian (HAPA) experiences through interviews with 7 other mixed race subjects. History, memory, and anecdotes on multiracial ethnicity are represented through archival images, super 8 film, verité, and interview.
Parallel Adele has screened at 13 festivals, including the SF Int’l Asian American Film Festival, Wesleyan, NYU, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. For a lighter side of being HAPA, check out On the Clock – Episode 2.
