The Farewell
The Farewell Genre: Drama, Comedy Rating: This film is not yet rated Release Date: July 19, 2019 – Markets to be determined Running Time: 1 Hour 38 Minutes Credits are not final Cast: Awkwafina, Diana Lin, Lu Hong, Tzi Ma, Zhao Shuzhen, Jiang Yongbo Written and Directed by: Lulu Wang SYNOPSIS: In this funny, uplifting tale based on an actual lie, Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi (Awkwafina) reluctantly returns to Changchun to find that, although the whole family knows their beloved matriarch, Nai-Nai, has been given mere weeks to live, everyone has decided not to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding, uniting family members scattered among new homes abroad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she left as a child, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit, and the ties that keep on binding even when so much goes unspoken. With The Farewell, writer/director Lulu Wang has created a heartfelt celebration of both the way we perform family and the way we live it, masterfully interweaving a gently humorous depiction of the good lie in action with a richly moving story of how family can unite and strengthen us, often in spite of ourselves.

Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report
Sundance Institute Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome As we navigate another year of global events and changes that are defining our times, we again turn to artists for insight and inspiration. Artists who open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of understanding different perspectives. Artists who harness the power of storytelling to activate important conversations and actions. With deep and sustaining support provided to more than 1,400 artists, including over $16 million invested in labs, grants, and fellowships, Sundance Institute’s commitment to support the visionary work of independent artists is uncompromising this year. We’re excited to share with you our 2019 Annual Report that illuminates three critical pillars of our mission in action: supporting the most talented independent artists around the world and advancing their creative practices; fostering an inclusive community to hear from underrepresented voices on the screen and stage; and catalyzing the impact of independent storytelling. Thank you to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and community of supporters of Sundance Institute who all come together in the shared belief that a world more connected through storytelling and a common humanity is a better world. We look forward to what’s possible in the year ahead. Robert Redford President & Founder Pat Mitchell Chair, Board of Trustees Robert Redford Pat Mitchell 02 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome I am constantly amazed by the curiosity and passion of artists, and inspired by their creative journeys—a process fueled by reflection, risk-taking, and an openness to new possibilities.

Wang, an alumna of Sundance Institute’s 2017 FilmTwo Initiative, will be honored with the Institute’s annual Vanguard Award presented by Acura at the summer benefit.

To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding, uniting family members scattered among new homes abroad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she left as a child, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit, and the ties that keep on binding even when so much goes unspoken.

The Farewell (Members’ Choice) Directed Lulu Wang
The Farewell (Members’ Choice) Directed Lulu Wang. USA 2019 (PG) 100 min. With Shuzhen Zhao, Awkwafina, X Mayo, Hong Lu, Hong Lin In 2013, Chinese-American director Lulu Wang was told that her grandmother (‘Nai Nai’ in Chinese) had Stage 4 lung cancer with three months to live. The family decided not to tell Nai Nai of the diagnosis and devised a ruse — a fast-tracked wedding in her hometown Changchun —for everyone to see her one last time. Wang thought the situation, with its mix of bittersweet drama and comic absurdity, was great material for a film, but nobody wanted to make it. With its all-Asian cast, it was considered too Chinese for the American market. “And when I pitched it to Chinese producers, they were like, ‘Why is this dramatic? Everybody in China does this.’” Billed as “based on an actual lie,” the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it garnered rave reviews for both Wang’s directing and the performance of Nora Lum, aka the rapper Awkwafina (whose autobiographical comedy series Awkwafina is Nora from Queens is currently on BBC iPlayer.) Although Wang filmed on location and enlisted her grandmother’s sister Hong Lu to play herself, Nai Nai never actually knew what the film was about. Wang remains unsure how she feels about the lie. “I don’t know what’s right. I do know that the lie has allowed me to spend three months in China with my grandmother. It’s allowed me to have all of these experiences with my family that I would not have had otherwise.

Anledningen er, at bedstemor Nai Nai kun har få uger tilbage at leve i, og familien skal samles for at sige farvel til hende. Familien har imidlertid besluttet ikke at fortælle Nai Nai sandheden om hendes tilstand, og bruger istedet et bryllup som påskud til at samles. Mens Billi navigerer i dette minefelt af hvide løgne og familieforventninger, begynder hun samtidig, at genopdage det land, hun forlod som barn. Ikke mindst genopdager hun sin store kærlighed til Nai Nai og de stærke bånd de deler selv efter mange års adskillelse. Så meget at det truer med at afsløre løgnen.
