Block Description:
Home is not always inherited — sometimes it is chosen. Our closing block celebrates solidarity, resistance, friendship, and community-building across borders and identities.

Films in Sunday Block 2
Following The Line
(Taiwan, 2025)
Film Details
Director: Jia-Yee Ong — 7:05 — BC Premiere
Logline: This story weaves together the life experiences of older women around us — including my grandmother, my aunt, and the aunties who often helped us alter our clothes. There are many elders skilled in sewing, yet they are often taken for granted, and we rarely look deeper into the meaning behind their quiet work.
Red Light Rebel
(Canada, BC, 2025)
Film Details
Director: Hannah Yang — 15:56 — World Premiere
Logline: A pastor stuck at a red light finds himself at a crossroads with God.
Burcu's Angels
(Canada, BC, 2025)
Film Details
Director: Özgün Gündüz — 19:56 — Surrey Premiere
Logline: For over 30 years, Burcu’s Angels was more than a store—it was a radical space of care. As the shop nears closure, this documentary blends archival fragments, poetic reflection, and community memory to honour a Turkish queer elder’s defiant presence—and the disappearing spaces that held generations of queer lives.
Mildlife
(Canada, BC, 2025)
Film Details
Director: Cory Thibert — 1:25:00 — Surrey Premiere
Logline: A drummer’s world is thrown off-beat when his girlfriend wants to leave their hometown of Victoria BC, just as he’s struggling to care for his parents who both live with cerebral palsy.
Mildlife received an honourable mention for Impact in Fiction Filmmaking for the Ultra Indie Award at the Woodstock Film Festival. Winner of Best Canadian Feature at Victoria Film Festival.
