All Told

media release: Mills Folly Microcinema will present a program of short films by acclaimed filmmaker Paige Taul on Wednesday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m, followed by a remote Q & A with the filmmaker after the screening.  Admission $5.00, free for ALL members. Seating is limited, and doors open at 6:30 p.m. A $1 fee will be added for single admission credit card charges, but no fee for multiple admissions ($10 or more).

Paige Taul is an Oakland, CA native who received her BA in Studio Art with a concentration in Cinematography from the University of Virginia and her MFA in Moving Image from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her work engages with and challenges assumptions of black cultural expression and notions of belonging through experimental cinematography. As a part of her filmmaking practice she tests the boundaries of identity and self-identification through autoethnography to approach notions of racial authenticity in veins such as religion, style, language, and other black community-based experiences.

Taul's work has been exhibited at venues and festivals including UnionDocs, Crossroads at SFMOMA, BlackStar Film Festival, Prismatic Ground, and the Virginia Film Festival.

The Q & A will be moderated by poet Grace Ruo.

This program was originally scheduled in February, and postponed due to inclement weather.
