蕭美玲,現任國立臺北教育大學藝術與造形設計學系副教授。她在2000年畢業於法國 Le Fresnoy 國立當代藝術工作室,師從旅法美籍藝術家羅伯・克拉瑪(Robert Kramer),開啟紀錄片創作之路。
她的紀錄片總以個人經驗為起點,交織記憶、家庭與文化認同。1999年《斷線風箏》從夢境出發,回望家族與日治時代的記憶;2004年《雲的那端》聚焦她成為母親的歷程,及台法混血女兒的文化掙扎,進而帶出家庭在跨國界、跨文化、實體與虛擬的當代議題;2022年《平行世界》歷時十二年拍攝,陪伴亞斯伯格症女兒的成長,細膩描繪母女情感與自我追尋。此三部作品皆入圍頗負盛名的山形國際紀錄片影展,並於國際影展大放異彩。
作為藝術家與紀錄片創作者,蕭美玲始終思索影像在當代語境中的可能性。她的作品風格極具個人筆觸,堅韌且勇敢地凝視生命在不同階段的狀態。本次新竹巡迴亦展映其鮮少公開的短片,包括實驗性強烈的《字.人》(1996)與都市肖像作品《城市靈光》(2008),呈現其跨越紀錄與藝術的多樣創作視野。
