Empire of My Melodious Mind

In the space of a moment, inside a cabinet, perception embarks on an epic journey through the terrain of memories that form the identity of an American born Asian.

Directed by Jeannette Louie

Director’s Bio: In the experimental films of Jeannette Louie, perception creates identity. She follows the trail of consciousness streaming through a hidden world lying within a greater world. “What am I?”, rumination asks as it reaches for autonomy and grace. Philosophical, scientific, meditative and quixotic, her cinematic tales express the conflict of illness, trauma, longing and loving. Her award-winning films screen globally in film festivals, museums and galleries.
