Julie Mallozzi

Julie Mallozzi is a documentary filmmaker based in Boston, Massachusetts. Her films explore the interactions between cultures thrown together by history, and between politics and personal stories.

Julie's debut film, "Once Removed," premiered at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, won awards at numerous festivals, and aired on public television. It tells the story of meeting her mother's family in China and learning about their involvement in China's complicated political history.

"Monkey Dance," which follows three Cambodian-American teenagers coming of age in Lowell, Massachusetts, is her second feature-length documentary.

As a freelancer in Boston's lively documentary community, Julie has played many different roles. She field-produced the China segment of "Six Billion and Beyond," a PBS documentary about reproductive health and population policy. She has done camera work and editing for a number of different companies, and assisted with WGBH's "Americas," a ten-part series about Latin America; "Born Under the Red Flag," about contemporary Chinese history; and "Pictures from a Revolution," about Susan Meiselas's experiences as a photojournalist in Nicaragua. Julie also produces videos for nonprofit organizations.

Julie grew up with a Chinese mother and an Italian-American father who ran a roadside tourist attraction in rural Ohio. She studied filmmaking at Harvard University, where she currently teaches.
