About 

Lori H. Ersolmaz is an award winning filmmaker who creates poetic films with classic, contemporary and visual poetry as a device for meaning-making, especially related to critical analysis of social, political and cultural issues. Her work is influenced by Jungian psychology which is concentrated in depth psychology, the conscious and unconscious mind, archetypes, dreams, synchronicity and symbolism. Lori encourages the viewer to consider a personal and collective act of responsibility for the past, present and future.

With over 20 years of multidisciplinary experience, Lori has worked with leaders from Fortune 500 corporations, nonprofit/governmental organizations and policy think-tanks on varied media in support of policy and advocacy initiatives. Since 2014 she created poetic films to convey emotions and feelings as a social commentary. In 2020 Lori began experimenting and producing immersive public art installations to connect people with nature through film and digital arts.

Her work has been seen in New York City at Anthology Film Archives, in Minneapolis at the Weisman Art Museum, and at International film festivals, events, pop-up exhibitions and street art installations held in Australia, Croatia, India, Iran, Istanbul, Italy, Greece, Mexico, Nepal, Slovakia, United Kingdom, United States and West Africa.
