Come join our last Cinematheque event of the semester as we welcome students and community members to share and showcase their transnational participatory video projects. Students from Occidental College’s Media Activism Through Participatory Video course teamed up with students from The University of Hong Kong’s course, Globalization and Migration. Students worked in 4 teams to create media with activists from the International Women's Network Against Militarism. The resulting collaborative media projects look at the impact of militarism on women’s lives in Guam, Okinawa, South Korea and the Philippines.
Oxy Cinematheque is an annual series of film/media events curated by Occidental's Media Arts and Culture Department that are free and open to the public. Organized around a new theme each year, the series is designed to bring together the college and Los Angeles communities. This year's program is curated by Visiting Assistant Professor Dr. Vivian Wenli Lin in conjunction with the MAC 250 Media Activism Through Participatory Video course. The series will feature practitioners and filmmakers working with participatory methodologies to create media with and alongside disadvantaged or migrant communities.
Events are sponsored by the Media Arts & Culture Department, the Mellon Foundation, the Remsen Bird Fund and the Center for Community Based Learning at Occidental College.
