Shayna Connelly - Director, Producer
Biography
Shayna Connelly’s films on ghosts and liminal spaces explore boundaries between documentary, experimental and fictional forms. The 8-film anthology A Memory Palace for Ghosts illuminates hauntings that arise from traumatic events, mental illness, everyday routines, the search for truth and the aftermath of grief. Her current work explores the dichotomy between how she is perceived and how she identifies as a feminist, artist and mother.
