Aftershocks: Experimental Films, Videos, and Animation from Taiwan

Sun, May 7
7:30pm
$8 general, $5 Cinematheque members, seniors, disabled, students (w. ID)

Introduced and Presented by Guest Curator Anita Chang

Cinematheque presents a rare showcase of recent experimental media
from Taiwan brought by Bay Area filmmaker Anita Chang, who has been
an artist resident and Fulbright lecturer there for the past few
years. These works and their techniques reverberate with
incisiveness, sensitivity, and introspection as they speak to what
remains for a young democratic stateless nation vulnerable to the
whims of dominant global economic exploits. Shifting between the
lingering and fleeting, reconstructed and abandoned, sentiment and
satire, they are soulful reclamations in the midst of precipitous
change and loss. Works include: CHEN Chieh-Jen's Factory, Tony Chun-
Hui WU's exTAIPEIit, LIN Chun-Hua's She says, Mia CHEN's Red-Label
Rice Wine, HOU Chi-Jan's Stardust 15749001, and Nana WU's Farewell 1999.
