Co-Presented with the Chinese American Friendship Association of Maine (CAFAM)

Shaken by the news of his father’s dementia, artist Maleonn creates “Papa’s Time Machine,” a wondrous time-travel adventure performed on stage with life-size mechanical puppets. Through the play’s production, he confronts his own mortality. Maleonn finds grace and unexpected joy in this moving meditation on art, the agonies of love and loss, and the circle of life.

Join a live conversation with filmmakers Yang Sun and S. Leo Chang, artist Maleonn, and puppet Makuji, Saturday, September 12th at 8 p.m. via Zoom here or via Facebook Live @ourtimemachinefilm

81 minutes. Not rated. Directed by Yang Sun & S. Leo Chiang.
