Nina Menkes
Nina Menkes is considered a pioneer of feminist cinema and one of America’s foremost independent filmmakers. She has screened widely in major international film festivals, including multiple premieres at Sundance, the Berlinale, Cannes (ACID), Rotterdam, Locarno, Toronto, La Cinémathèque Française, the British Film Institute, the Whitney Museum of American Art, MOMA in New York, and MOCA and LACMA in Los Angeles. Menkes synthesizes inner dream-worlds with harsh, outer realities. She has been called “brilliant, one of the most provocative artists in film today” by the Los Angeles Times; her work was described as “controversial, intense and visually stunning” by Sight and Sound.
