Julie Mallozzi

Julie Mallozzi's films explore the fluidity of cultural identity and historical memory. Her work has won awards at festivals around the world and has screened in museums, universities, and on public television. Her debut film Once Removed tells the story of meeting her mother's family in China and learning about their involvement in China's complicated political history. Monkey Dance reveals how traditional Cambodian dance helped three Cambodian-American teens navigate the minefields of urban adolescence. Julie's new film Indelible Lalita is a portrait of an Indian woman whose body and ethnic identity have been remarkably transformed through cancer and loss of skin pigment. Julie grew up with a Chinese-American mother and an Italian-American father in rural Ohio - where her family managed a Native American historical site for 20 years. She has been an active freelancer in Boston's lively documentary community, including working on several PBS programs and editing Ross McElwee's In Paraguay and My Louisiana Love. Julie received her BA from Harvard University and her MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. She has taught at Harvard University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston University, and Rhode Island School of Design.
