ABOUT
AMOMENT BOOKS
AMOMENT BOOKS is a Toronto-based cultural brand that bridges Chinese literature and cinema with audiences across North America. We are both an independent bookstore and a film festival/distributor, curating Chinese books and bringing Chinese films to theaters across Canada and the U.S.
Through book sales, reading clubs, cultural talks, and film screenings, we create spaces for dialogue and community connection — continuously promoting high-quality Chinese literature and cinema to local audiences.
AMOMENT SCREENING
Just like books, we believe film is a unique way to tell stories.It helps us feel what others feel — and better understand ourselves.
We focus on Chinese communities across North America, especially first-generation immigrants. Many begin new lives here, yet still long for a connection to home. Through film, we reconnect people with culture and memory. Beyond commercial titles, we also champion documentaries and independent art-house films, bringing powerful stories to theaters and audiences in many cities.
AMOMENT BOOKS specializes in marketing and distributing Chinese-language films across North America. Our screenings span Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal in Canada, and New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle in the U.S., in partnership with independent and art-house cinemas.
More than screenings, we create experiences. Each film is supported by themed campaigns, custom souvenir tickets, and merchandise designed to enrich the audience journey.
