About the Program:
Threshold to threshold, pasts to presents, language colliding with language, one crossroad and the next. The Threshold to Threshold film series embraces these precarious states. The films we are interested in transmit landscapes, people, and histories that are constantly being displaced or forgotten. The challenges presented by the works are various, but because there are thousands of thresholds we can go thousands of places.
About the Curator:
Cherlyn Hsing-Hsin Liu is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, writer, and curator whose work is grounded in literature and the conceptual avant-garde. Cherlyn’s creative activity starts from a life event, an anomaly in language or in the material world. It continues by employing methods drawn from both Eastern and Western practices and philosophies. Her working method at various times involves handcrafted material, mixed media, and experimental interchange between new and old technologies.
She is a lecturer at CalArts, teaching experimental film. She is co-curator of Move Screen, Process Cinema, the founder of Experimentalist Media Collective, the editor of B-Journal, and serves as a programmer for the Experimental session of Slamdance Film Festival.
