What a way to close out our in-person Viet Film Fest 2026! 🎬 Our final day was filled with powerful storytelling, meaningful conversations, and moments that brought our community together.At The Frida Cinema, we explored the vibrant stories of Southeast Asian American communities across the country with the anthology documentary “Southeast Asian American Journeys”, followed by our Southeast Asian American Community Building Panel 🤝 Together, we reflected on the histories, memories, and relationships that shaped our communities in the aftermath of our arrivals, and the connections we continue to foster today.We also celebrated the Closing Night Film, “Ky Nam Inn (Quán Kỳ Nam)”, with director Leon Lê in attendance for a special post-screening Q&A. Set in post-war Saigon in the mid-1980s, this moving romance drama offers an intimate look at the lives of individuals navigating a changing Vietnam.From honoring our collective histories to exploring the complexities of Vietnamese life and love, Day 4 reminded us of the power of cinema to preserve our stories, strengthen our connections, and bring our communities together.🏠🎬 Viet Film Fest at Home is LIVE!
