Since 1978 Lili White has been exploring dreaming, origins of myth, primacy of memory, exercises in self and counter self-imagining; through her work with film, and fine arts. White’s work delves into topics that include “automatism,” in-camera editing, and Authentic Movement Technique.
Throughout her career she has maintained a dedication to work created by women; most recently in her Another eXperiment by Women Film Festival & Screening Series now on line.
