Hear, Eat, Home.
A documentary film by Hsuan Yu Pan

A documentary about diaspora musicians rebuilding home through music, food, and friendship.

Developed over nearly a decade, HEAR, EAT, HOME. explores the everyday resilience, artistry, and cultural continuity of diaspora communities. Following encouraging feedback from early industry viewings—including the Tribeca Festival programming team—the film is now in its final stage of post-production.
We invite you to journey with us and experience these vital, moving stories of lived memory and cultural transmission.​​

What the Film Explores

  • Music as memory carried across distance and migration

  • Food as a language of belonging without translation

  • Informal spaces where diaspora artists build community

  • Friendship formed through creative survival and shared life
