Reflections from the East and Back mixes narrative works with documentary and even includes one that falls nicely in-between. Reflections from the East and Back offers a number of views of the lives of people of several different cultures and how they interact, compare or contrast with familiar ones. From the United States, Japan, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, and even Mongolia, Reflections from the East and Back touches on ways of life that are strikingly different from ours while feeling nothing but familiar.

Cinequest is proud to present a series of shorts that are centered on the Ds: world?s that are Dark, Dangerous and Delightful. Our environs, both real and imagined, are explored with determined diligence and thoroughly probed. Taking films from around the globe, The Ds is a melding of sights and sounds from everywhere into a package that only magnifies the power of each individual part. The Dark and Dangerous visions of a man?s personal universe and of urban fantasy slip in with delightful romance and comedies and films that are slightly askew.
