Re-Take Oakland filmmaker, Pallavi Somusetty, will be a panelist for Storytelling Our Way: Filmmakers of Color Forge Their Path. This panel is part of the IDA Logan Elevate Public Program, a series of panels where IDA Logan Elevate 2023 filmmaking fellows open a conversation about cultural exchange within the film industry.
Storytelling Our Way: Filmmakers of Color Forge Their Path
Tuesday, July 2, 2024, 9 am PST
How can we be supported to tell stories outside of the dominant gaze, if most formative spaces for international artists are trying to make a film “accessible” to a mass audience? How can we create new Global South and diaspora forms for our specific audiences, particularly during a time when resources are scarce and the sustainability of our work is threatened?
Join moderator Monika Navarro, Senior Director of Artists Programs at Firelight Media, and filmmaker panelists Jude Chehab, director of Q (2023), Zippy Kimundu, co-director and co-producer of Our Freedom, Our Land (2023), and 2023 IDA Logan Elevate grantee Pallavi Somusetty, as they discuss ways to make room for their storytelling and reimagine their audiences.
