Still Night, Burning House (2026)

Award-winning director Carol Nguyen turns the camera inward for her profoundly intimate first feature, tracing her family's first gathering since her uncle's unexplained passing. Together, they journey to Vietnam, where what unfolds is both eye-opening and quietly haunting—a passage through inherited wounds and grief that runs generations deep. With tenderness and fearless inquiry, Nguyen accompanies her relatives as they confront long-buried medical files and a silence that has stretched across decades, drawing them at last toward one another. A metaphysical elegy for grief in all its complexity, Still Night, Burning House reveals how the act of telling our stories can reshape sorrow into shared restoration.
