Sam Jury is an artist filmmaker who works across the forms of moving image, sound and installation. She frequently collaborates with other disciplines, such as choreographers, writers and psychologists. For many years she has been interested in what she terms ‘suspended trauma’ – unresolved events replayed through shared narratives often supported by screen technologies and what cultural theorist Rob Nixon calls ‘slow violence’ – the long, drawn out effects of disaster. Working with these concerns, she makes both fiction and non-fiction films. The latter – an alternative form that sits somewhere between artist film and documentary – has, to date, focused on instances of social injustice and/or geopolitical isolation. Recent projects include Climart – a five-year research project investigating the efficacy of arts/science collaborations and the effect of visual arts in communicating climate change and To Be Here (2012–16) a series of films, and film installations about the mass displacement of Sahrawi refugees living in the Sahara Desert.
