Martha Colburn is a self-taught filmmaker with a stuttering, kaleidoscopic visual style that combines paper cutout puppets, vivid stop-action painting, iconographic mash-ups, and a wicked sense of humor. She has completed over forty films since 1994. Based in Baltimore, Maryland in the ’90s, she self-released six records and toured American and European cinemas and music venues with her work. Since 2000, she has worked in Holland and New York and creates installations, live performances, and stop-action animation. She has made films for System of a Down singer Serj Tankian, Jad Fair of Half Japanese, contributed animation to the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnson, and VJs for the band Deerhoof. She has performed with live projections and bands at The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2009), The Rotterdam Film Festival (2010), and will be performing later this summer at the SITE Santa Fe Biennial.
