This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Women Make Waves International Film Festival (WMWIFF, Taipei). For three decades, WMWIFF, the largest of its kind in Asia, has promoted and nourished countless women filmmakers from around the world including the Sinophone sphere. This special program (consisting of five fictional, experimental and documentary films) joins the celebrations taking place in Taipei, Paris and elsewhere this fall. The event also provides the happy occasion for a “homecoming” reunion of several filmmakers who studied at Tisch School of the Arts before they launched their fruitful careers as filmmakers, curators, critics, and educators.
The event is co-organized by Zhen Zhang (Director of Asian Film & Media Initiative), Cristina Cajulis (Events Coordinator, Cinema Studies), Yu-shan Huang, and Jane Yu. Special thanks to Women Make Waves International Film Festival and Tingwu Cho. Thanks to Greg Helmstetter and student projectionists for technical support.
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP required. Non-NYU persons will need to show government-issued photo ID for building access.
