Unsettling Landscape: Experimental Films by southeast Asian Women Filmmakers

a FREE SCREENING presented by UCLA Film & Television Archive and

UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center

Showcasing a collection of recent experimental works by Southeast Asian women filmmakers, Unsettling Landscape focuses on short films and videos that critically engage with questions of land, landscape and the myriad forms of mediation that have been used to capture their image. Unearthing the deep time of tectonic shifts and Animist belief systems, unraveling statist development narratives and unlearning colonial ways of knowing, these films unsettle the complex relations between lens and land, offering new possibilities for spatial transformation on screen.

Films include To Pick A Flower by Shireen Seno, Landscape Series No. 1 by Nguyễn Trinh Thi, Fiksi by Otty Widasari, The Harbor (Tepian Laut Utara) by Akumassa, A Million Years by Danech San, It’s Raining Frogs Outside (Ampangabagat Nin Talakba Ha Likol) by Maria Estela Paiso, Lemongrass Girl by Pom Bunsermvicha, and The Line by Anocha Suwichakornpong.

Series programmed by Associate Professor Jasmine Nadua Trice, UCLA Cinema and Media Studies.
