Filmmaker Carol Nguyen interviews her family to craft a portrait of love, grief and intergenerational trauma.

No Crying At The Dinner Table

Collaboratively developed with members of my family, shortly after the Sri Lankan Civil War in 2010, a narrative was improvised around an investigation into my mother's interactions with spirits. The film describes a population reeling from devastations of the past, where distinctions between the living and the dead are thinning.

The Eyes of Summer

Throughout my father's life, he struggled with a number of drug addictions, and after he unexpectedly passed away I began collecting an archive of letters, images, and recordings he left behind. The archive held a complex and revealing story of his relationship to prescription and illicit drugs, and glimmers of my distant relationship with him. This led me to consider how I might turn my distant relationship with my father, and his traumatic and sudden death into a purposeful document.

What You Left Behind

An American researcher, a Japanese translator, a Tokyo river transporting wildlife, garbage, death. Two women crash in love or lust to stories from the end of the world.
