With a Kem-3 16mm camera and a razor blade, Malic Amalya conjures connections between bees nesting in an abandoned refrigerator & queer resistance, the slippage of language & identity formation, and melded film frames & unspoken family histories.
Malic's films have screened widely, including in the Crossroads Film Festival at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the TIE Cinema Exhibition in Montreal and Milwaukee, the Olympia Film Festival, and the Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. He has also presented his work at Yale University, CalArts, Chicago Filmmakers, Outpost for Contemporary Art in LA, and the TransSomatechnics Conference held at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC.
In addition to his own films and videos, Malic is the cinematographer for the award-winning documentary feature Riot Acts: Flaunting Gender Deviance in Music Performance. Malic also curates INFRARED: New Visions from the Queer Avant-Garde, an annual shorts program in the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
Originally from Burlington, VT, Malic currently lives in Oakland, CA. He holds an MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a BA from Hampshire College. Malic is currently working towards an MA in Theory and History of Contemporary Art at the San Francisco Art Institute. His new film "Gold Moon, Sharp Arrow" will premier in May 2012.
