Kirthi Nath is an award winning South Asian filmmaker, writer, educator and curator. As an artist, her body of inspired creative work fluidly straddles genres, occupying a fertile hybrid landscape of cultural poetics, experimentalism, and hybrid narrative. Tactile and dreamlike, her work explores female subjectivity, memory, desire, and racial and sexual identities. Nath’s films have shown in several festivals and events including a solo show at The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Moondance International Women's Festival, San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, Berkeley Women of Color Festival and Ladyfest (Olympia, Scotland, Bay Area and Texas). As an educator, Kirthi teaches video at the Bay Area Video Coalition to marginalized youth communities and is constantly exploring multiple ways of empowering young people to become both producer and audience; to understand genre and go beyond it. Kirthi’s curational work reflects her interest in promoting women, people of color, youth and queer perspectives. Also an active member in the art community, Kirthi has appeared on several panels, been guest juror for film festivals. www.kirthinath.com
