Oolite Presents: Global Media Exchanges: Women across Moving Image: Sustaining Practice

Women across Moving Image: Sustaining Practice

Global Media Exchanges is a new initiative we’ve been developing as part of the expansion of our Cinematic Residency. The initiative is designed to create a space to connect with filmmakers and moving image practitioners from around the world—while also connecting the world to South Florida.

This first edition will bring together three accomplished filmmakers whose practices span different countries, industries, and forms of moving image:

Isabel Sandoval – Philippines
Filmmaker and actress from the Philippines whose work explores identity, politics, and intimate human relationships. Her films include Señorita, Aparisyon, and Lingua Franca, which made history when Isabel became the first trans woman of color to compete at the Venice Film Festival.
Recommended viewing: Lingua Franca — available on Criterion Channel.

Marialy Rivas  – Chile

Award-winning Chilean filmmaker whose work includes the features Young & Beautiful and Princesita, as well as episodes of HBO’s Perry Mason, BBC’s The Jetty, and Hulu’s The Season. Her films have screened at festivals including Cannes, Sundance, Berlinale, and the New York Film Festival.
Recommended viewing: Young & Beautiful — available on Sundance Now.

Raven Jackson  – USA

Award-winning filmmaker, poet, and photographer from Tennessee. Her debut feature, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and was recognized as one of the year’s best films by several publications.
Recommended viewing: All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt — available on Prime Video, YouTube TV, and Apple TV.

The conversation will be moderated by Miami-based filmmaker and Oolite Arts Cinematic alumna Monica Sorelle, known for her debut feature film Mountains (2023).

The conversation will focus on sustaining a creative practice through the experiences of women working across different industries, countries, and moving image practices.
