Meeting with Mo Tan, the director of the film ‘Confessions of a Mole’
after the screening of CONFESSIONS OF A MOLE, dir. Mo Tan
After seven years abroad in Poland, Chinese filmmaker Mo Tan returns home for the Lunar New Year, only to be drawn back into the emotional pull of her family. When a fortune teller warns that a mole on her face will bring misfortune, her parents insist she have it removed. A breast cancer diagnosis forces her to confront both her mortality and the unsettling possibility that fate might be real. Blending raw documentary intimacy with a tragicomic tone, “Confessions of a Mole” is a story of a family struggling to make sense of the past, and rediscover love.
