Elle Flanders is a filmmaker and artist based in Toronto. She was raised in Montreal and Jerusalem and holds both an MA in Critical Theory and an MFA from Rutgers University. Her work has been screened and exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival, the MOMA (NYC), and festivals and museums worldwide.

Elle completed her PhD at York University’s newly created practice-based research visual arts program in 2014, and has mentored with some of the art world’s most notable artists, including Mary Kelly and Martha Rosler, at the Whitney ISP and Rutgers University, respectively. Flanders has a strong history of community engagement and has created award-winning films and installations. Her longstanding interest in the sociopolitical realm and how it relates to landscape have led her, in collaboration with Tamira Sawatzky, to produce site-specific public art installations that are immersive and re-examine the role of audience as participant/witness.
