Family Man
In the middle of a storm, a mysterious man materialises in a remote mountain village, silently moving into a family’s home. Is he connected to the father who vanished many years before?
Filmed in Gatlang in northern Nepal, and told in the Rasuwa dialect of the Tamang language, the latest work from Australian-born, Nepali-based filmmaker Kalani Gacon (The Sound of Dreaming, MIFF 2022) depicts the eerie absence left by the loss of a patriarch while interrogating his own childhood feelings of growing up in a home without a father. Family Man is a tender portrait of longing and human need set against an astounding Himalayan landscape.
