Lana Lin is a filmmaker, artist, and writer whose creative practice concerns embodied vulnerabilities. She has produced a body of experimental films and videos that interrogate the politics of identity and cultural translation through attention to the formal capacities and historical contingencies of moving image media. Since 2001, she has focused on collaborative multi-disciplinary research-based projects (as Lin + Lam) that examine the construction of history and collective memory. Her works have been screened and exhibited at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, REDCAT contemporary arts center, LA, China Taipei Film Archive, BAMcinemaFest, Brooklyn, Gasworks, London, among others. Lin has received awards from the Javits Foundation, Fulbright Foundation, Jerome Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, and has been a fellow at MacDowell artist residency, Civitella Ranieri, and GIDEST at The New School.
Lin is an Associate Professor of Film Theory and Digital Cinema at The New School, New York.
