TO MAKE ENDS MEAT 心頭肉

2021 / 26 min / Cantonese & English / Digital / Stereo / Documentary

As a Chinese-style sausage factory in Vancouver’s Chinatown closes down, the legacy and community it has fostered for over a century is celebrated and remembered through the eyes of one of its workers. Embracing subjectivity, intergenerational relationships and cultural revitalization, To Make Ends Meat 心頭肉 is a call to commemorate the old, in a city fixated with newness.

World premiere at Vancouver Asian Film Festival in November 2021.
