While global leaders gathered at the APEC meeting in Peru, a quieter cultural exchange unfolded on screens worldwide. Mexican director Andres Kaiser, celebrated for his award-winning work, is making waves by connecting Latin American and Asian audiences through deeply personal storytelling.
Kaiser's film "Time Theorem," shortlisted for the Shanghai International Film Festival's Belt and Road Film Week, spent a decade in the making. The project reimagines home videos filmed by his grandparents, offering a raw, intimate portrait of immigrant life.
His approach? Transforming family memories into universal tales that resonate across borders. "Films can be bridges," Kaiser told The Vibe, highlighting how shared human experiences defy geography. With Asia-Pacific cultural exchanges surging, stories like his remind us that art needs no passport.
