LA AIR: TUNI CHATTERJI
LA AIR is a new artist-in-residence program that invites Los Angeles
filmmakers to utilize EPFC resources in creating a new work over a four-week
period. Tuni Chatterji¹s conceptual framework starts with form itself. She
is interested in looking at the physical and philosophical spaces between
fiction and documentation and the relationship between images and sounds
relative to the phenomena of the cinematic experience. Her filmmaking
practice is informed by her study of painting. After receiving a BFA in
painting from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, she went on to receive
a MFA in Filmmaking from the California Institute of the Arts. In 2007, Tuni
received a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research and start production on
her feature length documentary Okul Nodi. Tuni¹s work has been screened
around the world at venues including Rotterdam International Film Festival,
Printemps du Septembre and The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Beginning
with the movement around a specific place and time, her proposed residency
project SUNSET AT NOON will be a study of Sunset Boulevard at Noon. FREE!
