In the mood for a film screening? Gear up as a community and gather \u2018round for a screening of the Queer Vietnamese film N\u01b0\u1edbc (Water\/Homeland). Praised by The Long Beach Post as \u201ca six-minute shot to the heart. It\u2019s a visceral, gut-wrenching, heartfelt string of moments\u201d — N\u01b0\u1edbc is an experimental narrative short film about a queer Vietnamese American teen who attempts to piece together and understand their mom’s experience as a Vietnam War refugee. Joining us will be writer\/director of N\u01b0\u1edbc, Quy\u00ean Nguyen-Le, as well as talented local queer and trans Vietnamese poets Alex Quan-Pham, Chrysanthemum Tran and Paul Tran for a poetry reading. The film and poetry readings will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Jess X. Chen in response to the themes about refugee mothers, first generation queer child relationships, the aftermath of the Vietnam war, and how magical realism and time travel are employed as artistic tools to heal intergenerational trauma. There will be an altar and a musical tribute to honor the life of My Le Nghiem, who played the mother in N\u01b0\u1edbc.<\/p>\n
