Film Screening and Q&A with Cathy Yan
Description
Film screening followed by a Q&A with writer/director Cathy Yan, writer/director of Birds of Prey and Dead Pigs, hosted by Professor Shawn Snyder.
In the comedy-drama Dead Pigs (2018), a bumbling pig farmer, a feisty salon owner, a sensitive busboy, an ambitious expat architect, and a disenchanted rich girl converge and collide as thousands of dead pigs float down the river towards a rapidly modernizing Shanghai, China. Dead Pigs marked Yan’s directorial debut and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018, where it won a Special Jury Award for ensemble acting and garnered numerous awards throughout its festival run.
Yan is the director of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020), starring Margot Robbie, which was critically acclaimed and won Yan praise as a “creative force to be reckoned with” for her first major studio feature. Yan made her television directing debut in season three of HBO’s series Succession, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award for directing in a drama series.
