The Robert Flaherty Film Seminar
, New York
The Age of Migration, programmed by Chi-hui Yang. From the urban landscapes of Asia, to the conflict zones of the Middle East, to the multi-cultural societies of Europe, the United States and beyond, unprecedented migrations of exiles, soldiers, laborers, and adoptees intersect with the legacies of war, global capital, and terror. Through film and video screenings and in-depth discussions, The Age of Migration, the 54th Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, will probe how hybrid documentaries, video blogs, and speculative histories have become connective tissues which collapse physical distances and accentuate emotional connections. The following guest artists are confirmed to participate: Ursula Biemann, Lonnie van Brummelen, Pedro Costa, and James Hong. As is the tradition of the Flaherty, no other guests will be announced beforehand. And film titles will only be announced before the lights go down in the theater.
