Sierra Grove (they/she) is a filmmaker living in Colorado. They have shown work in festivals and galleries throughout the United States, including Ann Arbor Film Festival, Film Diary NYC, Denver Digergati Experimental Festival, Space_Space Gallery, Sleazy Femme Film Festival, Museum of Art Fort Collins, Wicked Queer Boston and South Sound Experimental Film Festival. They were recently awarded their MFA from University of Colorado at Boulder and now work at a Motion-Picture Film Lab called The Negative Space. Grove was born in Spokane, Washington and graduated from Olympia's Evergreen State College with a BA in Visual Art. They are committed to alternative processes, often utilizing 16mm, found film and hand-drawn animation. Their films feel intimate and immersive, pulling content from their surroundings- images of friends, audio of family, to catalogue their body in space. They are interested in themes related to play, collage as well as the unexpected nature of light, chemicals, and lenses. Grove describes themselves as “passionate about serving the future of experimental media arts by creating art and spaces that uphold values of liberation and accessibility.”
