This screening will be followed by a filmmaker Q&A.
NAEDEAN is an 80-minute personal documentary exploring the filmmaker, An Chen’s, journey towards emotional healing and self-connection. The film follows An in the aftermath of a breakup as they are alone for the first time in years and seek to define themselves in that silence. As they explore their gender identity and emotional world through different artistic forms, the presence of NaedeaN–what An names the inner voice they beckon toward–calls on them to be honest with their family about who they are, culminating in An coming out to their family as non-binary on their 30th birthday.
