About this Event
62 Years and 6500 Miles Between (2005): Amidst the political upheavals of a nation and the world, the filmmaker navigates cultural, geographical and linguistic distances in search of wisdom and hope from her 100 year-old Taiwanese activist grandmother (Ama).
What We Never Forget For Peace Here Now (2024) is a personal peace memorial video exploring how we forget and remember witnesses of war. I think about who are my survivors and witnesses of war, and the deep impressions they’ve given me, becoming a part of me.
