Being part of any family comes with joys and heartaches. For the Asian American creators featured in this program, it might look like a young family reuniting across oceans, like in Hello from Taiwan or Magic Kingdom. It can also look like the journeys back in time featured in Herselves or Mango Baby, reflecting on those who came before. Across these narrative and documentary short films, characters come to terms with how their families have deeply shaped them.
Co-presented by Kin On and Asian Counseling Referral Services (ACRS)
A father, Kenny, and his son, Michael, are visited one night by someone who claims to be Kenny’s sister, May. The only catch: Kenny believes May died years ago during some political upheaval. Over the course of the night, Aunt May helps Michael and Kenny reconnect one last time before Michael leaves for college.
