Lana Lin

Lana Lin (b. 1966) is a filmmaker, artist, and scholar based in New York City. Since the early 1990s, she has made experimental films, videos, and documentaries that examine the politics of identity and cultural translation, informed by the poetic and conceptual qualities of moving image media.

Lin's film ''The Cancer Journals Revisited'' (2018) won Best Feature Documentary at the 2019 San Diego Asian Film Festival and Favorite Experimental Film at the 2019 BlackStar Film Festival, Philadelphia. Lin is also the author of ''Freud's Jaw and Other Lost Objects: Fractured Subjectivity in the Face of Cancer'' (New York: Fordham University Press, 2017).

Her works have been screened and exhibited internationally, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Whitney Museum, New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Chinese Taipei Film Archive, BAMcinemaFest in Brooklyn, and the Gasworks Gallery in London. Lin was a fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program (ISP) from 2000 to 2001.

Since 2001, Lin has worked collaboratively with artist H. Lan Thao Lam as the artist team Lin + Lam, developing mixed media research-based projects concerning the construction of history and collective memory.
