BIO
Julie Casper Roth is an Emmy Award-nominated and award-winning filmmaker, artist, and writer interested in hidden histories, the unseen, and the ignored. She's presently working on a project about how discrimination extends to the grave (Uneven Ground) and recently completed Rooted Out, an award-winning documentary about two men who were denied a marriage license in rural New York. Her work has been screened nationally and internationally at venues including Baekam Art Hall in South Korea, the Athens International Film and Video Festival, Chicago Reeling LGBTQ Film Festival, SCOPE Basel, the Paris International Lesbian and Feminist Film Festival, Anthology Film Archives, and many others. She is a two-time finalist for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Fellowship in Video, a recipient of the College Art Association Professional Development Fellowship, and was awarded a New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Individual Artist grant. Julie teaches film, video, and television production. Julie graduated cum laude from Smith College and received her MFA from the University at Albany. STATEMENT As a filmmaker and artist, I'm interested in stories, people, and histories that are unseen. My most recent work considers the authors of public records, the purveyors of history, erasure, and gatekeepers to representation. More specifically, I'm interested in those who haven't been given a seat at the table and what this absence means for visibility and power.
