Panel Discussion – Chella Man in conversation with Superfest co-director Shaina Ghuraya.
Join us after Sunday’s Superfest screenings at the Asian Art Museum for a panel and Q&A with filmmaker, actor, artist, and activist Chella Man, moderated by Superfest Co-Director Shaina Ghuraya.
Chella Man is a New York-based artist, director, and author whose work features the continuums of disability, race, gender, and sexuality, informed by his Deaf, trans, Jewish, and Chinese identities. Chella made his acting debut in the second season of DC’s “Titans” as Jericho, a crime-fighter who uses sign language to communicate. Chella is also the filmmaker of Superfest 2023’s “The Beauty of Being Deaf,” an experimental short film that meditates on Deaf identity and language underwater.
