Children of Invention

One of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” writer-director Tze Chun makes “a fine feature debut” (Manohla Dargis, New York Times) with one of the most-awarded and best-reviewed films of the year. CHILDREN OF INVENTION is by turns humorous and heartbreaking, an “urgent, artful…austerely poetic” (Variety) “edge-of-your-seat family drama” (Spout) that’s both “powerfully moving and rigorously intelligent.”(Boston Phoenix). SYNOPSIS: Two young children living outside Boston come up with a plan to take care of themselves when their mother gets embroiled in a pyramid scheme and disappears.
