ABOUT THE FILM
Kitty Tsui, a Chinese American lesbian poet, writer, activist, artist, and Gay Games Gold Medal Bodybuilder, talks about coming of age in San Francisco in the 1970s, and her life now, having been rediscovered by a whole new generation.
Nice Chinese Girls Don’t: A Poetry Memoir is an award winning short documentary introducing Kitty Tsui, a multi-hyphenate poet-writer-activist-artist-and-bodybuilder. Tsui wrote the first book by a Chinese American Lesbian and contributed to the emergence of the Asian Pacific Lesbian Feminist Movement in San Francisco. Her poetry is part of the Asian American Project at the Smithsonian Institute.
“A personal manifesto and intimate portrait of a pioneering Asian American role model who was decades ahead of her time.”
~ Donald Young, Director of Programs Center for Asian American Media (CAAM)
“I enjoyed it immensely. Inviting us into Kitty’s past and present through her own words was brilliant.”
~ Karen Yin, writer, editor
