Filmmaker Bio
Rini Yun Keagy
Drawing, painting, writing and photographing most of her life, Rini Yun Keagy came to film via a circuitous geographical trajectory, a search for identity, and a love of maps, nature and the arts. Born in New Orleans, her other homes have included farms and cities in Guatamala, California, Spain, Hawaii, France and Indonesia. Rini was raised by her Guatamalan-born father, a farmer, cattle-herder and Vietnam War Veteran. Rini has recently re-established connection with her Korean-born mother, a vegan nurse!
As an undergraduate at U.C. Berkeley, she studied Geography and Cartography. Her hand-drawn thematic map, "Unusual Fruits of Indonesia," won the 15th annual National Geographic Society Award in Cartography. She has studied in Yogyarkarta, on the island of Java, Indonesia, where she photographed and interviewed contemporary Indonesian artists for an essay documenting their collaboration with Dutch artists. After four years as cartographer and photo editor at Lonely Planet Publications, Rini began working with Thirteen/WNET in New York City on "Egg the arts show," a weekly PBS documentary on the arts.
While a graduate student at Temple University, she has worked on Scribe Video's Precious Places Community History Project and taught documentary video to high school students in Havana, Cuba. Her recent films have described the diasporic and multicultural experience of "in-between-ness" through her own interpretation of surrealism. Her surrealist film Yellow has shown at the Philadelphia Film Festival, the James River Film Festival (winning a Merit Award), and debuted internationally this summer in Marseille, France at the Festival Images Contre Nature, a festival produced by the experimental atelier P-Silo.
