The making of the Tarsem Singh's fantasy-film 'The Fall'.

In 1920s New York City, a Black woman finds her world upended when her life becomes intertwined with a former childhood friend who's passing as white.

PASSING follows a young woman who finally gathers the courage to say hello to a stranger on a New York street, capturing the quiet tension of a moment where everything could change. What begins as a simple interaction becomes a window into all the ways we hesitate, imagine, and project possibilities onto the people we cross paths with. The film lingers on that brief space between fear and action, where connection feels both within reach and impossibly fragile.

Actress Reese Holden has been offered a small fortune by a book editor if she can secure for publication the love letters that her father, a reclusive novelist, wrote to her mother, who has since passed away. Returning to Michigan, Reese finds that an ex-grad student and a would-be musician have moved in with her father, who cares more about his new friends than he does about his own health and well-being.

A young black artist leaves his Los Angeles digs and travels to Europe to find himself. A theatrical stage production of the original Broadway musical.

Set amidst the rich sounds and diverse tapestry of the American landscape, Passing Through tells the incredible true story of a young man who journeys on foot from Pennsylvania to California, collecting stories as he goes. But when his trek brings to light an unresolved family crisis, he must use the lessons he’s gathered to finally confront his past. Don’t miss the musical that celebrates America and the power of what can happen when we open ourselves up to a stranger.

Passing Through is a snapshot of a family's holiday gathering in Trinidad and Tobago that invites the viewer into warm celebration and the rituals of food, cards and music. An ephemeral travelogue of moments that records a journey home using photography, haiku and prose revealing togetherness in a mother's hands, toes in sand and a dance in dappled sunlight. 　　源自：https://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/hot-docs-festival/films/2023/passing-through
