Private Screening with Jo Chim '91, Director of Short Film 'One Small Visit'

Private screening of award winning short film: "One Small Visit" written and directed by Brown Alum Josephine Chim '91 with a live Q&A in London.

One Small Visit is an award winning short film about the incredible true story of an immigrant Indian family who unexpectedly passes through the tiny Midwest hometown of Neil Armstrong in the wake of the '69 moon landing and the civil rights movement and ends up on the doorstep of the Armstrong home.

The film took the Best Foreign Film prize at the prestigious LA Shorts International Film Festival 2022. It streamed on the 95th Academy Screening Room, in Oscar consideration for Live Action Short and it also won the Audience Choice Award for Best Short at the Cleveland International Film Festival.

It continues to be on the film festival circuit and special screenings, including at NASA Headquarters, The Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., the Yarmouk Cultural Centre in Kuwait, The Asia Society in Hong Kong, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Wilmington, the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, Ohio, Paris Silencio de Pres, NATO Headquarters, Brussels, and also the New York Indian Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Narrative Short.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the talented Jo Chim, who wrote and directed One Small Visit.

" A Chinese Canadian woman, I’ve been a global nomad most of my life. I’ve always grappled with issues of race, identity, and belonging. With One Small Visit, I wanted to address them in an uplifting way. Ultimately, it’s a story between two very different families finding connection and a shared humanity; a testament to taking leaps of faith and small acts of openness and kindness that make a difference." - Jo Chim
