ABOUT HEEHYUN CHOI

Her films have been screened internationally including at Edinburgh International Film Festival, 25 FPS Festival, Images Festival, CROSSROADS, Experimental Film and Video Festival in Seoul (EXiS), and Ann Arbor Film Festival where she received the Mariam Ghani Juror Award. She is the recipient of 2024 KAFA (Korea Arts Foundation of America) Award, WNDX x NIMAC Experimental Moving Image Award, AHL Foundation Artist Fellowship, Alison Doerner Fund for Women Pioneers in Filmmaking, and The Lightning Fund by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) and Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
