The Sound of Pleasure (1990)

Visual Communications co-founder Eddie Wong profiles Chinese musical traditions as they are transplanted and flourishing through three generations of Chinese American musicians in San Francisco. The film follows the evolution of traditional Chinese music in the United States using a diverse range of interview and performance footage, ranging from traditional Chinese opera and Cantonese music groups like the Chung Wah Music Club to the influences of contemporary experimental and modern jazz composers as Jon Jang.
