Far From Home

Canada, India. 2025. 76 min

Far From Home is about the fight against the erasure of both the Tibetan nation and a father’s memories, collected against the ticking clock of Alzheimer’s. TC Tethong and his Canadian wife, Judy, helped carve a Tibetan settlement out of a South Indian jungle in the 1960s. Featuring a never-before-seen archive of a precarious era for Tibetans struggling to survive on borrowed soil, this intimate family story of love and courage reflects upon the nature of memory and intergenerational loss and resilience, while preserving a vulnerable oral history of the aging, last connection to a free Tibet.

Child of Dust

Poland. 2025. 93 min

Sang is one of countless children left behind by American soldiers after the Vietnam War—unwanted, discriminated against, and scarred by a war that took more than just his father. When Sang unexpectedly locates his gravely ill father in the U.S., he becomes determined to meet him, even though it comes at a price. The only way to fulfill this need is to move to the U.S. permanently, leaving behind his beloved wife, daughter, and grandson. In this foreign land, he struggles to find his place—not only in a society that sees him as an outsider but also within an American family that never knew of his existence. Cultural barriers collide when the past catches up with the present in the least expected ways.
