A Taiwanese-American filmmaker questions her family’s silence around the cycles of violence that have persisted since the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1949._ _LIGHT OF THE SETTING SUN is a poetic family portrait of what’s been left unsaid. We are showing the Berlin premiere of LIGHT OF THE SETTING SUN followed by a Q&A with writer Jessica J Lee.

About

A patient inquiry and unfolding of filmmaker Vicky Du’s family’s history. Using archival, first-person voiceover, and intimate interviews with family members, Du pieces together her family’s war-torn past across three generations and three countries: China, Taiwan, and the United States. What results is an honest, empathetic and nuanced portrait of the costs of survival of a post-war, diaspora family.
