The first all-female mariachi band, an adopted Korean woman who reunites with her biological mother and a multi-racial couple who fear for their son’s identity are some of the stories that will be told Thursday, Nov. 9 at the second annual screening of Cinefemme’s “IDShuffle” at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium.
Cinefemme, a four-year-old nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, supports women filmmakers in producing short flicks and feature-length documentaries, which are meant to tell stories of women crossing boundaries, defying categorization and reinventing themselves.
“I know the museum is very interested in developing its film program, and these are films that audiences otherwise wouldn’t get an opportunity to see,” said Katrina Drabkin, Cinefemme’s co-founder and executive director. “It’s hard for people to see short films unless they go to a festival, and the topic of identity is very integral to the human search for meaning and how we identify ourselves. It attracts a wide audience. The films look at how people broaden the of view themselves.”
Films at the screening were created by Liz Massie, Andria Chia and Jerry Henry, Shaz Benett and M. Weimer, and produced by Cinefemme.
The event begins at 7 p.m. and will be followed by a reception and question and answer session with Drabkin and other feature filmmakers.
Tickets are $5 for museum members and $7 general admission and can be purchased one hour before the screening at Sherwood Auditorium box office, 700 Prospect St. For more information, contact MCASD, (858) 454-3541, or visit www.mcasd.org.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
