The Worlds of Bernice Bing

Riding the waves of American history, THE WORLDS OF BERNICE BING explores the life, activism and art of this Abstract Expressionist painter, Beat-era Existentialist, Buddhist, feminist, activist, and Chinese-American lesbian. This poignant documentary is a lush tribute to Bernice Bing, the little-known foremother of Asian American avant-garde art.  Directed by award-winning filmmaker Madeleine Lim, this film does justice to her legacy as a San Francisco icon.
