Som Tam

Macau is traditionally known as a multicultural city for its European influence and roots. For the past years, the former Portuguese colony has been Asia's main gambling city with a prosperous economy and also a home for many foreigners of different nationalities. There are countless emotions and conflicts in an emigration process; curiosity, novelty, facing other cultural realities, uncertainty; they can even be contradictory feelings. Then there is balance, and the ability to more or less blend ourselves in the other's culture, and take or not habits as if they were ours, in a transformation process, where we also share our customs with the other, in a search for home. SOM TAM is about the Thai community in Macau. Following JJ, Sakol, Kay and her family, Ian Ian and Chatsada we come across a supermarket, a Thai restaurant and a Thai Festival all drawn together in Macau as a background.

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior

It is the story of an average, popular American teenager named Wendy Wu who discovers that in order to win the coveted crown she must first learn the way of the warrior. Wendy Wu has a one track mind, and that track leads directly to the title of homecoming queen -- no unscheduled stops, and no unnecessary detours. When a mysterious Chinese monk named Shen arrives to mold Wendy into a fearless kung fu warrior, however, her royal aspirations suddenly jump the track as she desperately attempts to juggle her boyfriend, her homework, and of course, the fierce competition to become homecoming queen. Now, as Wendy begins to train her mind, body, and spirit in the ancient tradition of the martial arts and her inner warrior gradually begins to emerge, the girl who once obsessed over popularity finally begins to put that popularity into perspective as she gradually realizes what truly matters in life.
