Amir George is a filmmaker and artist whose work blends sound, image, and spirituality into cinematic experiences of non-linear perception. His films explore transformation and transcendence, often following characters who exist outside social conventions, occupying liminal spaces and states of becoming. George's work has screened at institutions and festivals including MOCA Los Angeles, MoMA PS1, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, BlackStar Film Festival, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. His archival short Shades of Shadows is part of the permanent collection at the Walker Art Center. He is currently developing his debut feature film, The Healer, a narrative rooted in memory, legacy, and reimagined history.
