Alisi Telengut is a Canadian artist of Mongolian roots living between Berlin and Montréal/Tiohtià:ke. She creates frame-by-frame, under-the-camera animations using mixed media, including oil pastel, sand, stones, crystals, and found materials. Through handmade and painterly processes, her work explores human-nature relationships, animistic worldviews, and Indigenous knowledge systems of Mongolian peoples.

Telengut will join us for a virtual Q-and-A!

Her films have screened and exhibited internationally at venues and festivals including the Whitney Biennial, Sundance Film Festival, Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, VIDEONALE at Kunstmuseum Bonn, and many more. Telengut is a Canadian Screen Award-nominated artist and a Prix Iris winner for Best Animated Film. She is a full-time faculty member in Film Animation at Concordia University and recently completed a PhD in Scientific-Artistic Research at Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, where her research investigates animation, materiality, animism and Indigenous ways of knowing.
