Biography
Jennifer Reeder
Writer and director
Jennifer Reeder constructs personal fiction films about relationships, trauma and coping. Her award-winning narratives are innovative and borrow from a range of forms including after school specials, amateur music videos and magical realism. These films have shown consistently around the world, including the Sundance Film Festival, The Berlin Film Festival, The Tribeca Film Festival, The Rotterdam Film Festival, The London Film Festival, SXSW, The Venice Biennale and The Whitney Biennial. Her awards include several that have qualified her films for Oscar nomination.
Reeder is perhaps the greatest figure in feminist horror as a genre, and does not hesitate for a moment to employ highly effective means that always go beyond just making the audience jump in their seats. Reeder's previous film screened at the festival was Knives and Skin in 2018, and a large number of her short films can be found on The Criterion Channel.
