Christine Lucy Latimer Explained

Christine Lucy Latimer is a Canadian experimental filmmaker known for her hybrid works using obsolete media and technologies (16mm, home video, etc.).^{[1] [2] [3]}

Background

Latimer grew up in the 1990s in a middle-class suburb outside of Toronto with her artist mother and avid film and TV watching father. She claims the exposure to art, cinema and television from both of her parents was an early influence on her artistic approach. Latimer attended the Ontario College of Art and Design where her instructors were moving-image artists (active in Toronto in decades prior) who identified themselves as either strictly experimental filmmakers or video artists. Latimer chose to study both video and filmic mediums with a mind to layering and combining them.^[1]
