Cheuk Kwan

Filmmaker, Canada

Cheuk Kwan grew up in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. He co-founded in 1978 The Asianadian, a magazine dedicated to promoting Asian Canadian arts, culture and politics. Kwan’s fifteen-part Chinese Restaurants documentary braids his personal experiences with his love of travel and appreciation for Chinese culture worldwide. His new book Have You Eaten Yet? draws out a global narrative of the Chinese diaspora by linking together personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens world-wide.
