MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS!!
guest curator: Emily Chao

The theme of this month is RITUALS AND RUMINATIONS—filmmaking as a compulsive act, a habit, a ritual. The films in this series fixate, almost obsessively, on found images often with mystifying results. Past lives are recalled, histories are left half buried, unresolved.

What better way to start the year than joining your fellow humans for a night of cinematic magic?

Welcome to 2020!! Happy New Year!! As always, new month means it’s time to welcome a new guest curator for MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS, our weekly online-only screening series where a different artist comes in each month to share movies on the EPFC Facebook page each Monday. Today, we welcome to the curatorial helm…

EMILY CHAO!!

Emily Chao is a filmmaker and independent curator based in the Bay Area. Her films have been exhibited at the Viennale, REDCAT, Crossroads, and BAMPFA. She is a co-programmer of Light Field, an international exhibition of moving image art on celluloid, held at The Lab in San Francisco and a member of Black Hole Collective Film Lab in Oakland, CA. She earned an MFA in Film/Video from the California Institute of the Arts.
