Koohan Paik is a journalist, media-literacy educator, and award-winning filmmaker based on Kaua‘i. Her work focuses on preservation of culture and language, such as her 2006 short film, La Vendemmia, which documents Sicilian winemaking traditions that are no longer practiced.
She is also the writer and director of a Hawaiian-language docudrama based on the literary classic The True Story of Kaluaikoolau, a tale of the legendary Native freedom fighter during Hawai‘i’s annexation period.
Her films have been exhibited at the Paris Museum of Modern Art; the Berlin International Film Festival; Yonsei University, Seoul; the London Institute of Contemporary Arts; the Whitney Museum of American Art; and many other venues worldwide.
Her articles on sustainability and colonialism have been published in WorldWatch magazine, Slow (journal of the Slow Food movement), and in the book Paradigm Wars: Indigenous Peoples’ Resistance to Globalization, as well as asianamericanfilm.com, among other periodicals. She has taught filmmaking to students of all ages and backgrounds, including indigenous Hawaiian youths from the island of Ni‘ihau. Recently, she has delved into the agit-prop potential of YouTube, as seen in Greensumption, a send-up of ecomarketing campaigns, and Discover Kaua‘i, widely credited for galvanizing Kaua‘i’s current wave of antidevelopment activism.
