Becoming Home

This screening home brings together stories of migration, queerness, and memory. Films that explore the in-between spaces of belonging and transformation. Each work reflects on what it means to carry home within the body, honoring the courage it takes to remember, to become and to build kinship through love and connection.

This program presents this year's official selection of Minnesota short films from submissions.
