Please join us for a public showing of the documentary Counted Out. In the 21st century, fueled by technology, data, and algorithms, math determines who has the power to shape our world. Counted Out investigates the biggest crises of our time through an unexpected lens: math. In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get—all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice. But whether we know it or not, our numeric literacy—whether we can speak the language of math—is a critical determinant of social and economic power. Through a mosaic of personal stories, expert interviews, and scenes of math transformation in action, Counted Out shows what's at risk if we keep the status quo. Do we want an America in which most of us don't consider ourselves "math people"? Where math proficiency goes down as students grow up? Or do we want a country where everyone can understand the math that undergirds our society—and can help shape it?

Sometimes referred to as "Picasso of the East," Chang's paintings have outsold Van Gogh (CNN (mailto:https://www.cnn.com/style/article/zhang-daqian-picasso-of-east/index.html)) and have broken records at auction (New York Times (mailto:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/arts/china-art-auction-zhang-daqian.html)). Yet his thirty-year global journey after leaving mainland China in 1949 remains widely misunderstood and shrouded in mystery.Of Color and Ink is the first film (2023, run time: 101 minutes) to document the 30-year exile of Chang Dai-chien through South America, Europe, and the United States. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Weimin Zhang, it is also the culmination of Zhang's own 12-year journey to unravel the mysteries and controversies surrounding Chang Dai-chien's political, artistic, and spiritual quests. The film delves into Chang's extraordinary life in exile, highlighting the global context of his art and its broad impact as it crossed cultural and political boundaries between East and West.Of Color and Ink has received wide critical acclaim for its cinematic achievement and scholarly contribution and has so far won Best Feature Documentary Film Awards at film festivals in Brazil, China, and the United States. Weimin Zhang is an award-winning filmmaker, cinematographer, and professor of film studies at San Francisco State University's School of Cinema.
