Description

(Drama, Comedy, Experimental, Documentary International Shorts) A yakuza who wants go legit to be with his girlfriend, but doesn’t know how; a warrior monk struck by a crisis of conscience; a young queer girl’s struggle to be real with her mother, and a son’s struggle with fulfilling his mother’s dying wish; a lonely housewife, and a grieving son who seek solace in unusual places; mooncake, family, and a Chinatown road trip—this year’s INTERNATIONAL SHORTS highlight stories from the international Asian diaspora, exploring how different individuals deal with conflict and crisis both internal and outward as they seek a sense of identity, a sense of belonging, a sense of home.
