The Rules of Mahjong

Short documentary in search of cultural identity through a complex game of Mah Jong. Through a game of Mah Jong, the story of Asian history in Western Australia is passed down through generations. In between two cultural worlds, a new wave of young creatives are breaking out of stereotypes and navigating their own path as Asian-Australians. But they must first understand the past in order to define their future. ‘The Rules of Mahjong’ is a deeply personal short documentary from filmmaker Melle Branson that tracks her own Chinese heritage as a way of exploring the contributions of Chinese migrants to the economic development of Northbridge, and to Western Australia more broadly. This is a celebration of persistence, industry, and determination in the face of adversity – all aspects of the Chinese diasporic experience that are touched upon in Branson’s film. The WA Reflections project returns to present five new short documentary films created by emerging West Australian filmmakers, all based around stories from the State Library of WA collections. The State Library of Western Australia and Screenwest jointly support the films through the WA Reflections initiative that supports WA filmmaking teams to produce a short documentary film of up to five minutes in duration.
