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.
