The Human Story of Immigrants in America BLUE SUN PALACE with director Constance Tsang

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.
