Virtual screening of the documentary, The Celine Archive, followed by an hour of discussion with the filmmaker, Prof. Celine Parreñas Shimizu, Distinguished Professor of Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz and Dean of the Arts. Registration required; please register right here. 

The film centers on the life and legacy of Celine Navarro, a Filipina American woman who was buried alive by her Filipinx immigrant community in California in 1932. Focusing on inter-generational legacies of violence, the film suggests how seeking truth about the past can help survivors heal. The director presents the power of feminist filmmaking as Celine Parreñas Shimizu weaves into narrative the painful loss of her own son, Lakas.
