Rebecca Meyers has been making 16mm films since 1997, when she graduated from Cornell University and went to the University of Iowa, where she earned a Master of Fine Arts. In Iowa City Rebecca began programming experimental films and videos, for the (no longer extant) THAW Festival of Film, Video, and Digital Media and the monthly screening series Light Reading. She continued to make films and program the work of other artists in Chicago, where she lived before moving to the Boston area.

Her films have screened internationally at festivals including Media City, Images, the London International Film Festival, Ann Arbor, Oberhausen, the San Francisco International Film Festival, the European Media Art Festival, and Third Text: Images and Media Festival in Hong Kong, and her work has been included in curated exhibitions that include “Techniques of the Observor” at Cinema Project in Portland, “Bringing to Light” at the San Francisco Cinematheque, “The Independents” at the Cinematheque Ontario, “Sky and Water” at The Magic Lantern Film Series, and “White Shadows: Stories and Polar Visions” at the Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea of Trento, Italy. Rebecca served three years as the Co-Programmer of Chicago’s Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival and has curated film programs for the Chicago Underground Film Festival, the Massachusetts College of Art Film Society, and the Harvard Film Archive, where she currently works.

She is a 2008-2009 Harvard Film Study Center Fellow, and is doing research for Blue Mantle, a film exploring the local history of the Massachusetts coast, shipwrecks, and the role of the sea as aesthetic inspiration.
