Ellen Lovell is a filmmaker from Cabra, Dublin 7. Initially working through paint, Ellen’s work remains tied to dreamy visuals, and retaining a sense of ambiguity. With an academic background in studying the fine arts and social sciences, the roots of Ellen’s work often find themselves somewhere between behavioral observation and odes to historical masterpieces.
Her current work is always deeply collaborative, working with many other up-and-coming, young, Irish filmmakers and artists. She has directed numerous shorts, with a current comedy of manners set to premiere in May. Her work continues to move in new, increasingly unpredictable directions, but always returns back to a need to investigate and dissect.
