Stanford to Host a Screening and Conversation on Chinese American Histories at 3:30 p.m. on November 14: Two Films Trace Bay Area Chinese Fishing Villages and the 1885 Eureka Expulsion
STANFORD, California, United States — The Anderson Collection at Stanford University will host a screening and conversation, Tracing What Remains: Memory, Place, and Chinese American Histories, at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 14, at the Denning Family Resource Center, presented in conjunction with Patty Chang's exhibition surfacing. Attendance is by reservation.
Two films will be shown. Many Moons (2023, 21 minutes 43 seconds), by Chisa Hughes, follows Chinese community members in Humboldt County, which once boasted it was free of Chinamen, as they search for those who may have survived the 1885 expulsion of Chinese residents from Eureka and 60 years of enforced exclusion. The only known survivor, Charlie Moon, has descendants who are Native tribal members. The second film, Chinese Whispers: Bay Chronicles — Sailing Expedition (2014, 9 minutes), by Rene Yung, was made in collaboration with the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Yung founded Chinese Whispers, a nonprofit project dedicated to the under-told history of the Chinese in the American West.
After the screening, the two filmmakers will join surfacing co-curator Kelsey Chen in conversation on filmmaking as historical recovery, the relationship between place and memory, and the ongoing work of preserving Chinese American histories, including the displaced Chinese fishing villages of the San Francisco Bay.
