As part of their impressive ‘But Where Are You Really From?’ U.K. tour, T A P E Collective are presenting a three-part series of programmes of short films by mixed heritage filmmakers around the themes of identity and heritage, othering and belonging in film and society and the trouble of melting pots.

Trippin’ Over My Tongue forms the second part of this series. 

Whether it’s learning or losing a language, this collection of shorts looks at the barriers raised when the mother tongue isn’t as fluent as we want, or the words simply slip away. How do we connect to our culture when a language has been lost, and who do we turn to to serve as translators or teachers?
