WKFFC is honored to welcome Demi Guo - Director/Producer of the documentary film “New York Jianghu 紐約江湖 “. She is also a martial artist, journalist, and managing editor of the Asian American International Film Festival in New York.
Jiang Hu 江湖 👎 - “rivers and lakes”, used to describe martial arts society”.
New York Jianghu is a feature documentary about the kung fu community of the five boroughs, and the long-overlooked figures that have formed the mythos of kung fu films. Kung fu has meant something different for each generation since it left China and entered the streets of Chinatown. It was a means of making money on the side, entertainment via Bruce Lee and the Wu-Tang Clan, and now combating anti-Asian hate in a rapidly-gentrifying New York. -Demi Guo
