IF YOU LIVED HERE, YOU’D BE HOME ALREADY
A married couple is stuck in a rut of chicken dinners and TV watching. But when the wife impulsively attends an open house, the fantasy of a blank slate unearths long buried feelings that force her to question if her own house — and her marriage — is really her home.
NAMI
NAMI (which means waves in Japanese) follows one day in the life of a Japanese immigrant widow, who journeys across Los Angeles to reach the ocean. She struggles with the loneliness of mourning and comes to terms with her place in the world without her husband.
KEN MIURA: UNHEARD OF
Ken Miura was many things to many people: beloved professor, devoted father, and loyal friend. But to the filmmaker, he was a legend. He was the man who inspired George Lucas and helped change the ears of cinema sound for a generation.
RESIGNATION (Istifa)
In a remote Indian village in Himachal Pradesh, a meek and submissive clerk is humiliated by his boss and the level of insult slips out of hand.
TO SIT WITH HER
Leon Wu is a Taiwanese American transman who is exploring his parents’ home country of rural Taiwan — on his own terms. A pilgrimage to visit his 97-year-old grandmother brings unspoken acceptance of his gender identity, in contrast to the complexities of familial relationships back home.
FOR THE LOVE OF UNICORNS
When a young girl who loves unicorns goes to the carnival and realizes it doesn't have a real unicorn, she learns about the importance of speaking out and organizing with a community of people whose unicorns look different, but who all dance together under a glittery rainbow.
SUCCESS
SUCCESS is a short film about a Korean American family, comprised of two immigrant parents and two Americanized sons. They’re chasing after their own version of the American Dream, but it’s just not clicking. Through the course of an evening at home, long-simmering tensions between family members begin to boil over.
GIVE IT UP
Juxtaposing a comic's life on and offstage, GIVE IT UP explores the pain behind his comedy. After a brutal breakup, an amateur comedian copes using comedy in more ways than one. His story is a reminder that behind every joke lies a dark truth.
COMFORT GIRLS
In this disturbing and satirical K-pop music video, a new idol band of four sisters called the Comfort Girls undergo dramatic surgical transformations and are subjugated by a historical cast of male imperialists, all while singing and dancing to a modern, infectious Korean pop song.
