Every Meeting seems a Parting

About This Movie

Every Meeting Seems a Parting is a contemplative documentary that captures a unique family journey with a raw, intimate lens. The filmmaker takes her parents, both in their sixties, on their first trip to the sea – an experience that’s both thrilling and poignant. Shot on Weizhou Island, the film has this reflective tone that's almost meditative, contrasting the harsh realities of rural life with the vastness of the ocean. The pacing feels natural, letting moments breathe, which adds to its authenticity. There's this lovely interplay of nostalgia and discovery as the parents experience these new sights and sounds. It's the kind of film that quietly resonates, making you think about family, memory, and the beauty of small experiences.
