In this documentary, we explore the bonds of the father-daughter relationship and place themes of growing older, immigration and racism in the context of “living history.” Paul Loong talks of his experiences as a POW in Japan and his subsequent quest to become an American. We discover why, despite much suffering, “Every Day Is a Holiday.”\rAbout the Filmmaker\rTheresa Loong is an interactive media artist who creates intergenerational storytelling experiences focused on memory, identity, and immigration through the use of film, games and apps. She provided editorial and strategic consulting services to AMC Networks (for shows such as \"Breaking Bad\" and \"The Walking Dead\"), New York Magazine, The New York Times, and Milestone Film. Theresa is an award-winning multimedia director and producer whose work has been exhibited at the SVA, Triennale di Milano and Circulo de Bellas Artes.

She is a graduate of Harvard University, where she studied social anthropology and conducted ethnographic research using film and video, and received her MFA from Hunter College.\r\rSponsored by Center for East Asian & Pacific Studies; Spurlock Museum of World Cultures\r\rFor more information, look at the AsiaLENS: Everyday Is A Holiday/Theresa Loong (Virtual Screening + Online Filmmaker Discussion) calendar event (external link).\r\r"
