F.I.L.M. Series
This series is made possible by the office of the Dean of the Faculty (the Hansford fund) and by support from the Cinema and Media Studies program.
Event Description
Professor Zhuoyi Wang presents Filmmaker Iris Yang and her film The Returning Tide: Thirty Years On. The screening is at 2 p.m. in the Bradford Auditorium, Kirner-Johnson 125, and is free and open to the public. Yang's film revisits the legacy of the Fourth United Nations World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, through the voices of more than twenty feminist activists across East Asia. Thirty years later, the film asks what sustains connections across borders and generations, and what keeps the tide returning again and again.
Iris Yang is a researcher, journalist, and documentary filmmaker. Her work explores how people continue to find the energy and possibilities for action in times of political repression.
Support for F.I.L.M. events is provided by the Dean of Faculty Office, the Kirkland Endowment, and the Cinema and Media Studies Program.
Events are curated and organized by Professor of Cinema and Media Studies Scott MacDonald.
