MOON CYCLE , Justine Lai, 2024 (16MM Color Film, Sound, 2 Min)
“Moon Cycle is a 16MM direct animation based on the TV series Sailor Moon, recreating the girl-to-superheroine transformation sequences (also known as henshin) that are reused every episode to save on production..

Justine Tamiko Lai is an artist and filmmaker based in Queens, NY. Raised in Sacramento, CA, she received a BA in English and Studio Art from Stanford University and an MFA in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited at Asian Art Museum (San Francisco, CA), Asian Arts Initiative (Philadelphia, PA), and Gawker Media (New York, NY). She has been an Open AIR Artist-In-Residence at the Missoula Public Library Makerspace (Missoula, MT).

With this series we ask that each presenting artist identify a non-profit they wish to bring attention to and support through this screening. Justine has selected City Harvest. Every year City Harvest will rescue more than 77 million pounds of food and deliver it, free of charge, to hundreds of food pantries and soup kitchens across the five boroughs to help feed New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. 

Please consider making a donation to support these efforts.

OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES:
The OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES allows for 16mm film projection viewing with social and physical distance guidelines in place. 16mm film prints are projected, on loop, from dusk until dawn. Each artist receives an honorarium to support their practice and a new print of the work struck at MONO LAB. Each artist is asked to select a non-profit for a portion of the proceeds to benefit, a donation will be made in their name. And, YOU the audience are invited to enjoy the work, take part in the conversation and we ask that you consider making a donation as it directly supports the artist and the organization with which they share concern. This screening series is supported by the New York State Council for the Arts (NYSCA).
