Media are global by nature; they express culture just as much as they transcend borders. The CWC Global series is dedicated to showcasing media from around the world. This series features screenings and events that place UCSB in conversation with international media makers and global contexts across our deeply connected world. Past events include Captain Volkonogov Escaped with filmmakers Natasha Merkulova and Alexey Chupov; a special program highlighting anonymity and labor in the history of global filmmaking by curators Michelle Baroody and Maggie Hennefeld; Corazón Azul with director Miguel Coyula and actor Lynn Cruz; Whale Rider with author Witi Ihimaera; and Timbuktu with filmmaker Abderrahmane Sissako.
