On February 20th, join the Media Arts and Culture Department and Oxy Arts for a film screening and talk-back celebrates the life and work of three individuals critical to Oxy’s film history—Chicano filmmaker Jesús Salvador Treviño ’68, Dr. Marsha Kinder, and the late Chick Strand.
Treviño, a student in Kinder’s Global Cinema course, filmed critical moments in the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and directed films like Raices de Sangre (Roots of Blood, 1978) and One Out of Ten (1979). Kinder co-developed the first cinema classes at Oxy in the 1960s, while the late Mildred “Chick” Strand led what is now the Media Arts & Culture Department from 1970 to 1995. The event will begin with a screening of short works by Strand and Treviño, followed by a conversation with the latter.
This event is part of the MAC Cinematheque program season Analog@Oxy: Race, Sex, Technological Obsolescence. The 4-part event series runs in conjunction with the Oxy Arts/Getty PST ART exhibition Invisibility: Powers & Perils. The 2024-25 Cinematheque series is organized by visiting lecturer Adrienne Adams with the Media Arts & Culture Department and Oxy Arts in conjunction with the Center for Community-Based Learning and American Studies Department, with generous support from the Remsen Bird Fund and Mellon Foundation.
