FLEAPIT CINEMA PRESENTS: 100 SUNSET
Kunsel has recently settled in the Tibetan neighborhood of Parkdale, Toronto. An introverted young woman, she spends her days observing the residents of her apartment complex, and occasionally stealing from them when the urge strikes. She becomes intrigued by a new tenant, Passang, and a friendship quickly develops between the two of them young women. Passang, who is trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to an older man, confides in Kunsel about her plan to escape. As their friendship deepens, Kunsel is drawn into a web of deception that forces her to confront her desires and morals.
100 SUNSET follows two young Tibetan women navigating friendship, disappearance, and a quiet economy of survival in Toronto’s Parkdale neighborhood. Shot with non-professional actors and embedded in real community locations, the film offers a rare and intimate portrait of diasporic life.
Kunsang Kyirong’s enigmatic directorial debut feature premiered at TIFF, and received an honorable mention for the Best Canadian Discovery Award. It’s the kind of confident, exciting, and mysterious film that we’re always looking for over here at Fleapit and we’re thrilled to be presenting its Atlantic Premiere along with a newly recorded Q&A with Kunsang, moderated by our own Kate Solar, following the screening.
