Elysa Wendi is a filmmaker, artist, and curator whose practice spans performance and the moving image. Preoccupied with the abstraction of memory from place, time, and biographical traces, Wendi examines these themes in her live and filmic works. Straddling the amorphous boundaries between borders, languages, and cultural practices, she works through hybrid documentary projects, audiovisual essays, and meta-choreographic rituals to explore the auto-fictional narratives of bodies and movements. In 2015, she co-founded Cinemovement with film producer Jeremy Chua, a platform facilitating trans-disciplinary film creation through laboratory settings in different cities across Asia. She has served as festival curator for Jumping Frames Hong Kong International Movement-image Festival since 2021.
