Amanda Dawn Christie

Since 1999 Amanda Dawn Christie has created dozens of experimental films, videos, expanded cinema performances, and installations, that have been presented around the world. She works with 35mm, 16mm, and super 8 film as well as analogue video, digital media, photography, installation art, sound art, electronics, and performance. Her work not only spans across these mediums but also brings them together in ways that blur the boundaries of where one discipline ends and the next begins.

Amanda Dawn Christie has exhibited and performed in art galleries across Canada, and her films have screened internationally from Cannes to Korea to San Fransisco and beyond. She was the 2014 Atlantic finalist for the National Media Art prize, and recently had a 10 year retrospective exhibition of her work, called Land Lost, curated by Mireille Bourgeois, at the Galerie d’art Louise et Reuben Cohen. She was also included in the Marion McCain Biennale of Atlantic Contemporary Art, called Writing Topography, curated by Corinna Ghaznavi. Her films are distributed by the CFMDC (Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre) in Canada, the Dutchfilmbank in Amseterdam, and Lightcone in Paris.

Another 10 year retrospective of her work, "Dividing Roadmaps by Timezones: 10 years of moving pictures 1999-2009", focused on her experimental films and screened at the Canadian Film Institute (Ottawa), the Winnipeg Cinematheque (Winnipeg), the Vogue Cinema (Sackville), the Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival (Halifax), Amherst College (Massachussets), the Visual Studies Workshop (Rochester, NY), and Spectacle Microcinema (Brooklyn, New York).
