"400 years in a convent and forty years under Hollywood": in White Christmas (1993, 24 mins, Color), Michael Gil Magnaye tenderly and incisively observes hybrid Philippine culture through the scrim of Christmas-a kind of nationwide cross-dressing, "vaudeville against cocoanut trees." Across a Paper Ocean (1993, 10 mins, B&W) is Jean Cheng's partly fantasized portrait of her maternal grandmother in Taiwan, whom she knew only from photographs, as she discovers her need for a family history. Joyce Lee's Foreign Talk (1993, 11 mins, Color) makes inventive use of filmic space and the space on a BART train where an Asian woman and two black men encounter one another and confront the foreignness of their messages-language and body language. None of the Above (Erika Surat Andersen, 1993, 23 mins, Color) addresses the sense of identity of Americans of mixed ethnicity in frank interviews that show the census categories to be ridiculously limited.
