Banana Split
"The landmark film on Hapa identity—shown in festivals, museums, and classes for over two decades."
Kip Fulbeck's landmark video, Banana Split, defined the genre of multiracial exploration in contemporary video, and established him as one of the premiere artists exploring Hapa and multracial identity. Completed while Fulbeck was still in graduate school, Banana Split screened throughout the U.S. and abroad, and is still used in hundreds of classes today. Fulbeck's brilliant storytelling takes the viewer from childhood fights to adult dilemmas, questions interracial dating patterns and media depictions of Asian men, and explores the idea of ethnic identity in a country which ignores multiraciality. - Video Data Bank
