該場次邀請兩部片《我母親的餐桌》(My Mother’s Table) 及《海的另一端》(The Other Side of the Sea) 的台灣導演潘宣羽（Hsuan Yu Pan ）、製作人Nancy Wolfe，以及藝術家 Ludmila Christeseva 。片中主角他們來自敘利亞與烏克蘭，讓我們從紀實影片的內容討論共感與同理，製作團隊如何透過鏡頭述說對於難民故事，與這幾位難民主角的生命故事。
On June 22 (Thur.), we are pleased to have Taiwanese director Hsuan Yu Pan, producer Nancy Wolfe, and featured artist Ludmila Christeseva join the screening of the two films My Mother’s Table and The Other Side of the Sea. They will share their filmmaking process and stories. The protagonists in these two films are from Syria and Ukraine, and the films describe their nostalgia for their hometowns and how they advocate anti-war and peace for their motherland. We would love to invite the public to join the discussion about compassion and empathy based on the content of the documentary films, how the filmmaker tells the story of refugees through the lens, and how refugees tell theirs.
