November 7 & 11 | WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? brings together stories of lives in transition, where personal decisions, unexpected encounters, and moments of reckoning reshape the future. Moving through questions of family obligation, migration, coming of age, reproductive choice, cultural inheritance, and belonging, these films consider the uncertainty and possibility that accompany profound change. Together, they reveal the crossroads not as a single destination, but as an ongoing process of becoming, where identity is forged through courage, vulnerability, and the choices that define who we are.
