Vivian Ostrovsky
Filmmaker born in New York in 1945, Vivian Ostrovsky spent her childhood in Rio de Janeiro, then pursued graduate studies in Paris in psychology and cinema. In the 1970s, she co-founded Ciné-Femmes, an organization dedicated to the distribution of women's films. Since 1980 Vivian Ostrovsky has directed more than twenty films, most of them shot in Super-8, which often include found footage, excerpts from fiction, documentaries, or home movies. Her films exploit the theme of displacement, and are situated, according to Yann Beauvais, between "diary films" and "collage films". She also worked on the organization of the Jerusalem Film Festival. Her work has been shown in numerous retrospectives and exhibitions in museums and festivals around the world.
