What it is
Minemas are 50-minute interactive experiences that create and deepen community through the power of stories.  Expect to spend some time watching great content, and some in quality conversation with the creator and other audience members! This event is intended to be intergenerational, open to adults of all ages.

Kimchi Minema
How have you built your family? What barriers have you broken down to stand united? In Jackson Segars’ Kimchi (SXSW ‘18) we follow a Japanese-American marrying into a Korean-American family as he discovers a hidden connection with his future grandfather-in-law. Will their cultural differences stand in the way, or will it reveal hidden histories they have shared? Together with the director, let’s unravel the secrets and truths, love and hate, and past and present that all make up the idea of family.
