Kresge Auditorium (VAC), 7:30pm

Join filmmaker, artist, and storyteller Frank Chi ’07 for an evening of conversation and a screening of his film 38 at the Garden. 

From helping create the “Notorious RBG” phenomenon to directing social justice short films with more than 50 million views on social media, Chi helps lead narratives around justice and inclusion in American life. His latest work, the documentary short 38 at the Garden, about Jeremy Lin’s 2012 “Linsanity” run, premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival.

Chi’s work includes the Langston Hughes in Our Time video series sponsored by MoveOn and Color of Change and called “the perfect Black Lives Matter tribute” by HuffPost. His films for the Smithsonian Institution celebrating America’s immigrants—including Letters from Camp, which was called “a heartbreaking resonance of past and present” by ABC News—remain the Smithsonian’s most popular videos on social media. 

Design lead on the team that created the popular “Notorious RBG” campaign honoring late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Chi was featured in The New York Times best-selling book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Oscar-nominated film RBG. His other art projects, including the “This Machine Films Police” smartphone sticker and American Gothic X, have been viewed by millions on and offline.
