Small Talk + Sweet & Sour | Outfest Fusion

SMALL TALK + SWEET & SOUR Date: March 10, 2018 Time: 2:30 PM Location: TCL Chinese Theaters 6 (Dir: Huang Hui-Chen, 2016, Taiwan, 88 min, Min Nan with English subtitles) A portrait of the changing lives and conditions for three generations of women in Taiwan. Married off at a young age – as was customary in Taiwan in the 1970's – Anu divorced her violent husband and raised her two daughters alone. Since then her only romantic relationships have been with women. It's considered taboo in Taiwanese culture to question a mother's love, but that's exactly the topic of her daughter, Hui-chen Huang's intimate portrait. Mother and daughter set off on a journey together into the past, during which Hui-chen confronts Anu with questions that have tormented her for many years. Presented in partnership with LA Asian Pacific Film Festival. Preceded by: SWEET & SOUR (Dir: Ann Sun, USA, 2017, 6 min) Wei believes that his traditional Chinese mom would have a hard time accepting his boyfriend. However, it turns out that she is more than complex than Wei supposed.
