🔴 SF COMMONS: Transmission Studio Fierce Determination With Madeleine Lim

In this episode, we sit down with Madeleine Lim. Originally from Singapore, Madeleine Lim is QWOCMAP’s Founding Executive/Artistic Director and an award-winning filmmaker with 30 years of experience. Her films have screened at sold-out theaters at international film festivals around the world, featured at universities, museums, and broadcast to millions on PBS. Her documentaries include Jewelle: A Just Vision (2022); The Worlds of Bernice Bing (2013); and Sambal Belacan in San Francisco (1997), which continues to be banned in Singapore. We sit down to discuss the 21st annual International Queer Women of Color Film Festival (QWOCFF25) going down June 13-15th at San Francisco's historic Presidio Theatre in the Presidio National Park! This year's Festival Focus, "Fierce Determination," showcases 49 films across 7 screenings—from the ancestral traditions of Mauna Kea to Black Southern liberation stories—illuminating how LBTQIA+ BIPOC communities persist, thrive, and imagine liberatory futures through radical artistry and collective care.

Transmission Studio is a series of intimate conversations with the independent artists and community-based organizations living and working within the vibrant, complicated and ever-evolving ecosystem of San Francisco arts and culture. It aspires to inform, inspire and more importantly spark meaningful and critical dialogue on the state of the artists who remain committed to this city in spite of unprecedented social, economic and political challenges.
