Local director Julia Kwan's work is returning to Park City, Utah, for the next Sundance Film Festival (January 17 to 27). Last year, she won the special jury prize for world cinema, plus a slew of other awards, for her debut feature Eve and the Fire Horse . This year, her short film Smile, about a Chinese Canadian family attending a department store portrait photography session in the '80s, is one of five Canadian shorts to be shown at the festival.
