All you have to do is shoot a short video, no more than seven minutes long, about your city&#8217;s Chinatown and upload it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/MOCANYC\">MoCA&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>At the moment, only four videos have been uploaded. Three deal with New York, one of which is Kevin Lee&#8217;s &#8220;Take a Look,&#8221; about the effect of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centres on nearby Chinatown. The fourth is a documentary short on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pC3lCTvhIqU\">Chinatown in Honolulu<\/a>. If you can get past the hackneyed introduction (&#8220;Chinatown appears as a mysterious world filled with sights and sounds&#8221;? Come on!) it&#8217;s actually quite informative. <\/p>\n<p>It would be cool to see some Montreal content. After all, plenty of captivating stories and fascinating people lurk in the narrow streets of our Chinatown. So why not grab a video camera, head down the Main and see what you come up with? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-ynENhI30jI[\/youtube] Take a Look: New York City Chinatown Post-9\/11, by Kevin Lee New York&#8217;s Museum of Chinese in the Americas wants you to share your Chinatown with the world.
