Jenny Yujia Shi 施雨迦
We will be joined by local filmmaker Jenny Yujia Shi for a brief intermission Q&A about her film Permit Garden selected as part of the 2024 CLIFF program!
Jenny Yujia Shi 施雨迦 is a visual artist and animation filmmaker based in Kjipuktuk. Shi’s practice is informed by two pivotal moments: losing her childhood community in Beijing due to urban development, and navigating a decade-long immigration process in early adulthood. These experiences have shaped Shi’s interest in the impact of displacement and dislocation on individuals across generations and within communities.
