About

The Adoptee Film Fest is proud to champion Adoptee filmmakers who have created films centering and exploring the Adoptee identity and experience, all of which our selections embody.

We are proud to debut our Features program this year consisting of 3 films selected by 10 adoptees from around the world who make up our Features Selection Committee. We are kicking off our features screenings with Between Goodbyes by Jota Mun.

Please join us for a screening of the film, followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Jota Mun.

About ‘Between Goodbyes’.
When a queer Korean adoptee visits her original mother in Seoul, long-held regrets and cultural misunderstandings come to the surface alongside tenderness, humor, and tenacity.
Adoptee documentaries often center around the initial reunion with a redemption lens. It’s a time when emotions run high but it’s often not the most representative of the family’s relationship. This project began by asking, what happens a decade or two into a family reunion? What resources do families have or lack while attempting to stay in touch?
Original family voices have been missing from the conversation for far too long. Their voices deserve to be heard as well.
