Astonishing Little Feet captures the story of Afong Moy, the first documented Chinese woman to come to the United States of America, who realizes the men who separated her from her family want to profit off the peculiarities of her bound feet.
Director Maegan Houang reimagines a defining moment in Asian American history with this fictionalized dramatization of a young sixteen-year-old Afong Moy, who was brought to New York by merchants to advertise their Chinese import business. The film investigates the audience’s desire to ‘behold’ something as foreign and exotic as her small feet. It subverts the concept of “body horror” by asking the audience to question who gets to decide what is “horrific” and why.
The film stars Hong Kong-born and NYC-raised actress Celia Au with a special appearance by Perry Yung, actor, and musician. Perry is also a traditionally trained Japanese shakuhachi flute player and has recorded it for film and television.
