A horror flickers in the margins of a high school yearbook. Seasons vanish mid-frame. Revolution calls from unlikely instigators.

Kelly Sears’ films traverse the uncanny terrain between documentary and speculative fiction. Using experimental animation techniques, Sears reconfigures archival and original imagery through collage, layering, and compositing to destabilize visual legibility and open portals to alternate narratives. Each frame becomes a site of possibility, where histories are reexamined and futures imagined.

Her work offers a critical gaze on social and political structures, transforming the familiar into the fantastic.

Kelly Sears is a filmmaker whose short films reconfigure archival materials into speculative narratives that interrogate our social and political histories. Her short films have been screened at festivals such as Sundance, Slamdance, South by Southwest, American Film Institute, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and museums such as MoMA, The Hammer Museum, and the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. Solo programs of her films have screened at the Pacific Film Archives, Anthology Film Archives, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the San Francisco Cinematheque. Her films have won awards at festivals such as Slamdance, Ann Arbor, Black Maria, Chicago Underground, and Oak Cliff, among others.

She is an Associate Professor in the Cinema Studies and Moving Image Arts Department at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she also serves as the Director of the Brakhage Center for Media Arts.
