Pixels of the Orient 2023 Directed by Warren Chan
Pixels of the Orient appropriates Western media depictions of East Asia for a psychedelic and comedic exploration of ahistorical East Asian aesthetics and identity. Western film and television depicts East Asian culture through a pastiche of Chinese and Japanese symbols—often mixed with other influences from across Asia—filtered through an Orientalist lens that associates this “Asianness” with the exotic and mysterious.
