PARTICIPANT BIOS:
Yumeng Guo is a Bay Area based Filmmaker. She comes from an academic film background with six years of study and practice in China and the United States. She is passionate about stories that reveal deep humility, with her films reflecting the voice of the protagonist.
Jeanne C. Finley (CCA Faculty) works in film, video, photography, installation, and socially engaged work to create hybrid documentary and expanded cinema projects. She weaves a discursive, cinematic fabric of narrative, documentary interviews, scientific evidence, and archival and original footage to investigate sites of transformative events. Finley’s process moves between affective and analytic registers, allowing them to inform and challenge one another. The resulting films, installations, and social engagement projects employ collaborative processes with artists, scientists, audience members, and interview subjects.
