Ever Wanting (For Margeret Chung)

Among the ranks of white military heroes, nurses, and physicians stands Margaret Chung: the first female Chinese American doctor and a queer woman. Her resolve peaks and catapults in the complex streets of San Francisco as she navigates her senses of identity and belonging. When her life falls into situations of drug use and difficult surgery, she wagers her career and wellbeing to arise from her tribulations stronger. A fascinating experimental tableau made out of hand-processed 16 millimeter film, 35mm millimeter film emulsion, ink, paint, glue, tape, found footage, and digital video, Ever Wanting (for Margeret Chung) commemorates a pivotal figure in medical and queer history.

Boundless

Sometimes our most intimate stories drift beyond casual understandings of time, transcending into something more. Like ocean waves, they ebb and flow through our daily lives arising in objects and spaces which remind us where we came from. These filmmakers tap into those tides of experience, pushing the boundaries on storytelling by rethinking, remixing, and removing the limits of genre and structure.
