Asiate en Court is a short film competition featuring works created by artists of Asian descent. The goal is to showcase the voices of Asian communities from here and from all generations, and to encourage and promote their artistic visions as they progress in their artistic journey in Montreal, Quebec, and Canada. In addition to celebrating these artists and their work, Asiate en Court aims to create a space for intercultural dialogue, fostering mediation, inclusion, and exchange between the artists and the audience.

Among the participants, some will have the chance to win the Grand Prize for the best short film of Asian origin, as well as the Canadian and Quebec Coup de cœur awards, honorable mentions, and a broadcast award, thanks to our many partners.

The selected films will be screened in their original language or in French, or with French (or English) subtitles.

*Please note that all tickets sold are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, except in the event of a show cancellation by Festival Accès Asie.

Dédé Chen

Based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, Dédé Chen is an author and filmmaker interested in exploring the dynamics of filiation. She holds a degree in anthropology from Laval University and completed a master’s in international relations at the University of Beijing. Upon her return, she began developing a writing practice, blending poetics and politics, and focusing on themes such as sexual violence, the body as territory, and archival work. She co-edited Les Asiatitudes (2024), the first French-language anthology of authors descending from Asian diasporas in Quebec, and has published autofiction works in literary journals such as Le double de la mère in Moebius (2021), Femmage in Le Crachoir de Flaubert (2022), and Renasiance in Estuaire (2024). Her first short film, Papaya (2022), premiered at the Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival, and was awarded the Prix du Coup de Coeur at the Festival Accès Asie, as well as an honorable mention at the Festival Filministes and the Vancouver Festival of Recorded Movement. Having grown up between Saguenay and Quebec City, she needed to reconnect with her roots in the city and amplify the voices of adopted people. In 2021, she co-founded Soft Gong, the first Francophone organization by and for adoptees from China.
