Inside the Arthouse: Constance Tsang on BLUE SUN PALACE – An Immigrant Story Set in Flushing, New York Immigration in America is often discussed in headlines and policy debates—but what about the real human stories behind the journey? In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we speak with award-winning filmmaker Constance Tsang about her powerful debut feature, BLUE SUN PALACE, a deeply moving drama set in a Chinese massage parlor in Flushing, Queens. Now playing in New York and Los Angeles after acclaimed premieres at Cannes and the New Directors/New Films Festival, BLUE SUN PALACE explores the lives of three Chinese immigrants—played by Ke-Xi Wu, Haipeng Xu, and Lee Kang-Sheng—as they search for connection, healing, and belonging in a new land. Tsang shares how her own experiences shaped the film and discusses the emotional layers of identity, labor, and quiet resilience that resonate throughout this intimate story. 🎧 Listen now to hear how BLUE SUN PALACE shines a light on a side of New York City rarely seen in cinema—only on Inside the Arthouse. @dekanalog @laemmle #BlueSunPalace #BlueSunPalace #ConstanceTsang #InsideTheArthouse #ImmigrantStories #ChineseCinema #FlushingQueens #AsianAmericanVoices #CannesFilmFestival #NewDirectorsNewFilms #IndieFilm #ImmigrationInAmerica #AAPIStories #ArthouseCinema #KeXiWu #HaipengXu #LeeKangSheng #NYCIndieFilm #WomenDirectors #A24Vibes #BLUSESUNPALACE @Dekanalog @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #WatermelonPictures #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.
