Telling stories that span continents and decades, this program highlighting Korean American experiences touches on themes of immigration, memory, and familial relationships. These short films run the gamut of navigating transracial families shaped by adoption, to presenting darkly humorous perspectives on the history of Japanese colonialism. As a whole, this program examines how many meanings Korean American identity can contain, while addressing culturally defining ideas in inventive ways.


Co-presented by Korean American Coalition Washington (KAC WA)

A Korean woman is having sex with a Japanese man when the ghost of her disapproving grandfather interrupts. He reminds her of the historical trauma the Japanese inflicted on Koreans, and she just wants to enjoy herself when her great-grandmother also appears to weigh in.
