Bio
Elizabeth Lim (Zufferey) was born in Los Angeles but spent part of her childhood in South Korea where her father was a musician with the Seoul Philharmonic.
She began pursuing the 'moving image' at the age of 16 when she was accepted to an arts program at a Los Angeles district school with a video production program. From there she obtained an internship with MTV Networks/Viacom in New York; and she also spent other summer semesters at different production companies in LA and San Francisco.
She then moved to the Bay Area studying with experimental and 'avant-garde' filmmakers in a politically-charged landscape, which influenced her approach to the 'moving image' as an expressive art form.
She then went on to obtain her MFA at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate Fine Arts program surrounded by painters and sculptors at the Ivy League university. During her time on the East Coast, she obtained an internship at the Hirshhorn (the contemporary art museum of the Smithsonian) in Washington, DC for their first major film exhibit featuring filmmakers and artists like Sir Steve Rodney McQueen. While in the nation's captial, she was one of two final candidates considered for an advisor role to the National Endowment for the Arts chair person (a position appointed by the U.S. President). In DC, her views of filmmaking as an art form was solidified and her work has continued to be a hybrid of cinema and art.
Her independent films covering different social and existential issues were selected for film festivals across the U.S. (attributed as "E.L."); and she has held academic positions as an adjunct faculty instructor at UC Berkeley, Boston University, and University of Maryland Global Campus.
