DESCRIPTION:BLURRING THE COLOR LINE – SCREENING AND Q&A WITH THE DIRECTOR CRYSTAL KWOK\nWhat does it mean to be caught in between two worlds?\nFollowing director Crystal Kwok’s personal journey of discovery\, BLURRING THE COLOR LINE digs deep into how her grandmother’s family navigated life as neighborhood grocery store owners in the Black community of Augusta\, Georgia during the Jim Crow era. The film weaves family anecdotes and neighborhood memories to open up critical conversations about liminal states & anti-Blackness in the Chinese community\, and serves to disrupt racial narratives and bridge divides. \nCrystal Kwok – Director\, Producer & Writer\nCrystal Kwok is an award winning filmmaker who established her career in Hong Kong as an actress\, writer\, director\, and talk show host.

Kwok is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Hawaii in Performance Studies and a recipient of the prestigious East West Center Scholar awards. \nIntroduction by:\nGina Marchetti\, Professor\, Department of Comparative Literature\, School of Humanities\, HKU \nModerator:\nStaci Ford\, Affiliated Associate Professor\, Department of History and School of Modern Languages and Cultures\, HKU \nDate: Thursday\, May 5\, 2022\nScreening: 6:45 pm Hong Kong Time\nQ&A: 8:15 pm Hong Kong Time\nVenue: On Zoom\nAll are welcome.
