Films by Martha Colburn
Artist-in-attendance
Martha Colburn is an animator, filmmaker and artist originally from Pennsylvania. A self-taught filmmaker, she began making films in 1994 using found footage, a Super 8 camera and her own unique combination of painting and collage. She has since completed over 40 films. Based between Amsterdam and New York, Martha travels extensively worldwide exhibiting her work. Her films have been featured in museums and festivals internationally including The Whitney Art Museum, The Anthology Film Archives, and The Rotterdam Film Festival.
"The uniqueness of Martha Colburn, to me, is the explosive energy and craft with which she brings up-to-date, and pushes further, the film form of found-image-collage established by Stan Vanderbeek and Dick Preston in the Sixties. She has invented her own techniques and language that permits her to fuse the grotesque images of our popular civilization as produced by our image industries, to make film songs of universal sadness of our times." - Jonas Mekas (2000)
