Ella Morton

Ella Morton is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker. Her expedition-based practice has brought her to residencies and projects across Canada, as well as in Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Finland. She uses experimental analogue processes to capture the sublime and fragile qualities of remote landscapes.

Her films have screened internationally, including the Antimatter Media Art Festival (Victoria, BC), the Arctic Film Festival (Svalbard, Norway), the Alchemy Film & Media Arts Festival (Hawick, Scotland), the Peripheries Experimental Film & Video Festival (Boston, MA) and the Kinoskop Festival of Experimental Analog Cinema (Belgrade, Serbia).
