ALL ABOUT DAD, a film by Mark Tran
Mr. Do (Chi Pham) has raised his kids to be good Catholics and to live up to his unrealistic expectations. His son Ty (David Huynh) is abandoning pre-med to chase a less practical dream, while Linh (Yvonne Truong) is keeping her fiancé’s Buddhist background a secret. However, they aren’t the only kids with secrets in the Do family. It’s time Dad faces the truth that his kids have grown up.
Delightfully hilarious, yet mixed with great tenderness and humanism, All About Dad addresses the familiar theme of old world father vs. new world kids with deftness and originality. It’s a masterful family portrait that’s sure to resonate with any family.
SAD FISH, a film by Le Van Kiet
Sad Fish follows four characters who have suffered a kind of loss and for whom this is (or appears to be) their final day existing in their current state. They are almost trapped in their glass-bowl worlds looking out, and yet, unable to reach the other world they see—much like fish in an aquarium. Their four separate paths converge to an emotionally tense ending, when everyone’s true limits are tested and where truth and real life is never black or white.
