Twenty-seven years ago, Anusha reconnects with her biological family in Sri Lanka—and begins filming. The reunion shatters the adoption story Anusha grew up with and exposes an aftermath of guilt, silence, and contradictions. It becomes clear that what was left unsaid has had far-reaching consequences for Anusha as well as for her families in Sweden and Sri Lanka.
The project is presented within Tempo Pitch, where seven film projects are pitched in front of an audience and a jury consisting of selected industry experts. The winning project is awarded 90,000 SEK by Film Stockholm, SVT Documentary, and the Swedish Film Institute. New this year, Docs Ireland and DOK Leipzig will present awards to their favorite pitches. The presentations are moderated by Martijn te Pas.
Tempo Pitch takes place on March 5, 3:00–5:30 PM at Debaser. Industry accreditation is required to attend. Read more here.
