Director
Emily Pelstring is an artist and filmmaker, and is faculty in the Department of Film and Media at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Her work incorporates crafts, available materials, a variety of animation techniques, and visual tricks such as holography, stereography, and Pepper's Ghost to explore links among technology, spirituality, and magic. Emily is engaged in an artistic collaboration with Jessica Mensch and Katherine Kline called Sistership TV, a web-based variety show that gathers numerous artists to explore questions across ecology, media studies, materialist theory, and feminist theory. She is also a co-organizer of an international symposium called "The Witch Institute," which brings together scholars, artists, and practitioners to explore the meaning and impact of current media representations of the witch.
