Dear Nana (United States) by Han Nguyen
Dear Nana is a deeply personal work that reflects my own childhood memory of living as a queer kid in a small, conservative town in North Central Coast, Vietnam. It is made in memory of my maternal grandmother who passed away in 2011. She was the first person to teach me that there is no shame in being myself and doing whatever makes me happy instead of trying to conform to the norm and doing what is expected of me. This work is both about remembering her and reassuring myself that she would still be supportive of me now that I have come so far in my journey of self-expression. The film also features aspects of Vietnamese culture, such as the tradition to venerate our ancestors and pray for their blessings.

Thank you for your souvenir, UK! (United Kingdom) by Oushi Lin
This film tells the complex experience of "Chinese students" in the context of today's increasingly common transnational education. As a "one-year passer-by", the director elaborated on the embarrassing situation of today's international students wandering between "marginal people" and "internationals". It attempts to arouse people's re-examination of the transnational education system by depicting the real dilemma.

Koka (Poland) by Aliaksandr Tsymbaliuk
An intimate story of the relationship between father and son, living on the edge of the earth near the Bering Sea, imbued with the harshness of local reality and unpretentiousness of childhood years, the strictness of paternal education and love, which always finds its place in any part of this planet and in any of the hearts, even in the one that at first glance is harder than stone.
