Jennifer Reeves, a Sri Lankan-born filmmaker, was born in 1971 and is currently based in New York. She is renowned for her work on 16mm film, which has earned her recognition as one of the "Best 50 Filmmakers Under 50" in Cinema Scope's 2012 spring issue.
Since 1990, Reeves has been creating experimental films that showcase her exceptional skills as a writer, cinematographer, editor, and sound designer. Her unique approach, which involves optical-printing and direct-on-film techniques, has allowed her to push the boundaries of film and explore a wide range of themes.
Throughout her career, Reeves has consistently tackled complex subjects such as memory, mental health and recovery, feminism and sexuality, landscape, wildlife, and politics from diverse perspectives. Her subjective and personal films offer a profound insight into the human experience.
Reeves has also made a significant impact in the world of experimental narratives, particularly with her highly acclaimed feature film, THE TIME WE KILLED. This film received widespread recognition, including votes from six film critics in the Village Voice Film Critic's poll in 2005, which honored it in categories such as Best Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Performance.
