Daphne Xu

An artist and filmmaker, her films unfurl from places in flux; they are concerned with the interior lives of women and diasporic subjects caught in moments of rapid development. Her films have premiered at festivals and institutions including Toronto International Film Festival, Museum of Modern Art, Visions du Réel, and Cinéma du réel (Huahua’s Dazzling World and its Myriad Temptations, 2022). She began making films in 2018 as a Film Study Center Fellow at Harvard University, where she is an affiliate of the Sensory Ethnography Lab.
