Montreal World Film Festival, here we come!
“The Invisible Red Thread” is finally completed and ready to be seen! Our doc will have its world premiere in the ‘Documentaries of the World’ program at this prestigious festival from August 18th to the 28th. The one hour film follows fifteen-year-old Vivian Lum and her father from Canada to China to discover the land she was adopted from in 1995. She returns to her home city and orphanage and also meets Shumin Zhu, a locally adopted teen. The girls compare lives as the film explores the ripple effects of China’s One Child Policy and the ties that still connect Vivian to China.
We invite you to join us at one of the two festival screenings in Montreal. We’re still awaiting all the details, so more news soon on exact screening days and times to come. And if you can’t be in the theatre in Montreal this summer, don’t despair. There will be a national Canadian TV broadcast on OMNI TV this fall. More details coming later this summer.
The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
