    Project Space Residency

    Anna Kipervaser is a Ukrainian-born artist whose practice engages with a range of topics including human and animal bodies, ethnicity, religion, colonialism, and environmental conservation. Her engagement with these topics is informed by a commitment to formal experimentation, DIY and alternative processes, spanning a variety of disciplines, currently focusing on experimental and documentary moving image works in both 16mm film and digital video. Her work screens at festivals internationally, including at Slamdance, Full Frame, Crossroads, Process Experimental, Florida Experimental, Edinburgh International, San Francisco International, Light Field, Antimatter, Fracto, Imagine Science, Milwaukee Underground, Chicago Underground, Indie Grits, Muestra Internacional Documental de Bogota, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, among others. Anna’s work also screens in classrooms, galleries, museums, microcinemas, basements, and schoolhouses! Her films are distributed by CFMDC, Alchemiya, and Canyon Cinema. She is also a painter, printmaker, educator, curator of exhibitions, programmer of screenings.
