Sing Me a Lullaby

In this powerful 29 minute documentary short, Canadian filmmaker Tiffany Hsiung embarks on a 14 year journey to search for her biological grandmother in Taiwan, from whom Tiffany's mother Ru-Wen, was separated in the 1960's at the age of 5.

Hsiung undertakes this moving, transformative journey with a hand-held camera, gradually uncovering old wounds, secrets and challenges while crafting an intimate and touching family portrait on the road to healing.

Hsiung won the 2020 Directors Guild of Canada Outstanding Directorial Achievement for Best Short Film and 2020's Toronto Film Festival's Share Her Journey Award.
