Cynthia Lin is a Chinese American filmmaker and visual artist exploring diasporic memories from the Chinese rural south. Drawing from her experience as a "satellite baby" raised in Fuzhou until age five, she crafts magical-realist ghost stories that echo the absence of family. Lin studied film at Yale University and has trained at FAMU in the Czech Republic and EICTV in Cuba. In 2023, she was selected for The Gotham Film and Media Institute's project development and pitch program, and she is currently in the Linz Film Talent Academy developing A Funeral Procession of Fireflies.
