Nina Menkes

Menkes’ films synthesize inner dream worlds with brutal, outer realities. Her work has been shown widely in major international film festivals, including Sundance, the Berlinale, Locarno, Toronto, and MOMA in NYC. She has had numerous international retrospectives and her early work has been selected for restoration by the Academy Film Archive and Scorsese’s Film Foundation with funding from the Hobson Lucas Foundation. Menkes is a Fulbright and Guggenheim Fellow and a directing member of The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
