from organizer Victor Wong, who also appears in the film:

As you may know, ReelAsian Film Festival and TIFF Bell Lightbox hosted LOVE BOAT: TAIWAN last November 9, 2019.  It was a sold-out show and received great reviews. Briefly, it is a documentary directed by Valerie Soe, Professor Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University, that describes how a cultural/heritage program sponsored by the Nationalist Taiwan government quickly morphed into a dating scene among second-generation Chinese who were also trying to discover their roots.  I participated in the inaugural tour in 1967 and this program continued for some 30 years thereafter creating many fond memories, last friendships, romance and alumni associations around the world.
Due to popular demand, LOVE BOAT: TAIWAN will be shown again at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street) on January 23, 2020 at 6 pm to promote the Chinese Canadian Archives, which is also located at the TPL (5th Floor) and which has connections with this program. A short panel discussion will follow the showing. 

Tickets are free but limited to 4 tickets per person.  Capacity is limited to 180 seats and can be reserved on a “first come, first serve basis”. Please circulate to others who may be interested.  Please book early to avoid disappointment.  

Please go here to reserve!
