Curated and Presented by the Women of Color Film Festival, Soon-Mi
Yoo and Local Artists In Person

Cinematheque is honored to host the Women of Color Film Festival for
a second year with two shows. WOCFF provides a welcome forum for
both emerging and established artists from one of the most creative
but underrepresented sectors of the film community. The 7 o'clock
program "seeking same" revisits the conundrum of displacement, from
the distant mountains that divide Korea to an emotional homecoming in
the Philippines. These filmmakers, including Soon-Mi Yoo, Tina
Bartolome, Kristina Cervantes-Yoshida, and Isabella La Rocca, attempt
to piece together missing parts and re-envision universal cycles of
beginnings and endings. At 9 o'clock, in "tempest tossed," local and
international filmmakers including Marianne M. Kim, Tamara Rahman,
Sonali, and Lauren Woods uncover their inner frustrations, taking on
burdens in unexpectedly transformative, sometimes tantrum-like ways.
From conflicting identities to unsettling ambiguities, we pay homage
to the fluidity of circumstances that both separate and intertwine us
in the search for self. WOCFF opens at the Pacific Film Archive,
Berkeley, March 2-5. For full information: www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/
