Song Hà

Song Hà means “twin rivers” in Vietnamese, and she moves with purpose: gentle and persistent, with a current that quietly shapes everything it touches. As a director and storyteller, she chases infinity.

She’s led national campaigns that shift policies and culture for transgender and refugee communities, spoken at institutions like Harvard and Stanford, and learned firsthand from the communities she serves. Song Hà weaves together poetry, filmmaking, and hands-on community work, always pushing for us to recognize something beyond what’s in front of us.

As an award-winning poet, her artistic sensibility flows right into her filmmaking. Her directorial debut, The Songs of Water, is set to premiere at the New York LGBTQ Film Festival this year, inviting audiences to see trans communities as emblems of nature’s adaptation and evolution. With her second film just wrapped, she’s diving even deeper into storytelling, alongside programs at Netflix and the Transgender Film Center.
