Migration
Tibet

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.

War
Vietnam
Identity

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.

Coming of Age

Single mother Shi’ning visits a ‘spiritual salon’ out of curiosity and joins a group activity that promises to erase the past. At first glance, only Shi’ning seems to be obsessively attached to the loss and trauma she, her three siblings, and her mother experienced. But in reality, everyday life is often harsh for her mother and younger brother Shi’an as well. Ordinary images, such as an orange sock hanging on the clothesline, a wardrobe where a child hides, a stripped mannequin, or an old sweater trigger painful reminders of both personal and historical trauma for this family. Zhou Jiali’s feature debut Raindrops on a Roof suggests that what matters is not cutting out memories like burning photographs but bringing pain into the open and facing one another—much like the family working together to restore their mother’s cheap, shrunken sweater.
