Rosey Feng

Rosey Feng is an aspiring filmmaker from Melbourne, Australia. "The Banana In Me" was the first film she directed, and she felt honoured to have it screened at DCIFF, allowing a wider audience to engage in its conversation. Inspired by her own complex cultural relationship between her Asian and Australian identity, she created her short film by exploring the themes of intergenerational trauma, cultural identity, and racism. This creative process emboldened her to continue a legacy that sought to create societal change through expressing her vulnerability. Her short film was not only an examination of the insecurities, burdens, and conflicts embedded within her Asian Australian experience but also a raw reflection of her journey to self-acceptance—creating a piece of herself that could never be fully articulated in words.
