Simone Estrin

Simone Estrin (she/ her) is a Toronto-based filmmaker, programmer, and curator whose work questions the experience of art and its value for society. Her short film, A SHIFT IN THE LANDSCAPE, about the battle to protect Richard Serra’s sculpture, “Shift”, has screened to international audiences including at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago, and The Chinati Foundation in Marfa. She is currently developing her first feature film, BAD GIRL MARCIA TUCKER, about the trailblazing life of the New Museum of Contemporary Art’s founder, Marcia Tucker. Simone is an Associate International Features Programmer at Hot Docs, and contributes to film programming at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Le Festival International du Film sur l’Art. With both the role of the artist and the place of the audience top of her mind, her films ask us to confront our preconceived notions about contemporary art and its relationship to our everyday lives.
