The 2009 MFA Film Screening, Latent Images, presents premiere works from SFAI’s 2009 MFA graduates in film and video. In the tradition of the experimental work for which the SFAI Film department is known, these works exhibit varied sensibilities, yet share a commitment to exploration and to expanding the expressive potential of the moving image. From the lighthearted to the sublime, the personal to the political, and the spiritual to the perceptual, the films and videos that make up Latent Images eschew easy categorization and, in turn, offer a context for rethinking the ways in which meaning is found and how we come to perceive.
Latent Images presents the best of an exciting body of work from thirteen emerging film and video artists: Sarah Wylie Ammerman, Finn E. Bugge, Kai-Ting Chuang, Andrés García Franco, Milena García, April Grayson, Jae-Min Han, Ruth M. Hodgins, Sandhya Kumar, Kevin Joseph Laccone, Mickey Ray Mahoney, Ching-Yi Tseng (aka Baodao), and David Yun.
