shareFilmmakers in attendance. Film program will be followed by Q&A.
Some of the most defining moments of our lives happen in the in-between: between who we were raised to be and who we are, between the place we came from and the place we’ve made our own. These eight short documentaries follow people suspended between home and the loss of it, between tradition and transformation, and between the stories we inherit and the ones we choose to tell. Promising no easy answers, these films offer something more valuable — the courage to confront some of life’s hardest obstacles and the possibility of finding ourselves on the other side of them.
