A SCREENING + SILENT AUCTION BENEFIT FOR AAPI INDIE FILM!

 

This special night at THE INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART kicks off of a series of investor events between Santa Fe & Taos... 

​

Award winning local documentary filmmaker Erica Nguyen presents a story in the making. Please join us in the first public screening of scenes from Phantom Roots: a lyrical family road memoir, by children of the Vietnamese diaspora, learning to come home

to themselves through ancestral magic on a water stage. 

​

How was rain evoked in the rice fields of the Red River Delta? Experience water puppetry- where this origin story transforms memory into theater for the growth of the next generation. 

​

What did 90’s refugeehood look like for grandparents who practiced spirit mediumship? Rewind the technicolor tapes

of dusty archives, and fast forward to the karaoke dance halls of Little Saigon.  

​

Where can you help bring this grassroots vision to completion? Come learn about the next chapter of production in Vietnam.

Screening starts @ 6:30pm

Auction closes @ 8pm
