==Emily Gan==
Emily Gan is a photographer and filmmaker from Montreal. She holds a BA in Communication Studies and Photography from Concordia University (Montreal). She has shown work in Montreal, Canada and Nantes, France and has
contributed to publications including Magazine Intérieurs and VICE. As a documentarist, she has worked as a photographer and sound recordist on two independent features: With This Ring, co-directed by Ameesha Joshi and Anna Sarkissian (in post-production) and Re-framing U.S. National Parks, directed by Anna Sarkissian (in development). In fiction, Emily was the assistant editor on the feature film, Dallas Buyer’s Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée in 2013.
CAVEBIRDS (in post-production) is an essay documentary and Emily’s first feature project. The film follows her father, Hok-Wah (Howard) Gan, to his homeland of Malaysia as he and his brothers set up a bird's nest farming business. Situating us among Emily's extended Chinese Malaysian family, the film moves from big cities to tiny hamlets. Meanwhile, the birds, ever-present, act as a conduit between Emily and her family members, prompting conversations about family, home, and heritage.
