Assistant Professor Linda Zhang's short film 'Chinatown 2050' recently premiered at the 22nd annual DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver. The film, a collaboration with Maxim Gertler-Jaffe, is "a visual collage of dreamlike LiDAR 3D modeling scans" that asks how might the pandemic shape the future of Toronto’s Chinatown? Five scenarios tackling this question are imagined through this technology by Asian-Canadian youth with the hope to preserve vibrant streetscapes rather than create an empty tourist attraction.
