TOUCH with filmmaker Shelly Silver '79

Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 7:15pm

Willard Straight Theatre
Central Campus

2013 > USA > Directed by Shelly Silver

The latest hybrid creation from experimental veteran and Cornell alum Shelly Silver ‘79 is a visually sumptuous exploration of New York's present-day Chinatown as seen through the fictionalized, autobiographical prism of a returning émigré. In the collage of recent footage and archival stills, narrated almost entirely in Mandarin Chinese, "issues of cultural and personal identity cross-pollinate with discursive inquiries into the meaning of urban space and social interaction." (Hollywood Reporter) Subtitled. More at shellysilver.com Cosponsored with the Dept. of Art. Digital Projection
