Evelina Groll is a Calgary based filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist, creating in film, photography, poetry, prose, and textiles. Using handmade and traditional processes her work explores relationships with plants, material process, geography, and culture. Analog film holds a strong centrepiece, with much of her work informed by experience with handmade photochemistry.
She studied for her BFA in Film at Simon Fraser University, and was also delighted to study Indigenous Ethnobotany, as well as Spanish language and culture. Expanding her knowledge of darkroom processes she attended the Rocky Mountain Filmmaking Camp in 2025, at the Handmade Film Institute, Colorado.
Her work has been supported by the Canada Council, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development, and the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. Her films have been shown at Ignite! Festival in Vancouver, SYNC Sound and Image Conference, Artifact Film Festival, and received recognition from Pebbles Underground Film Festival and Serbest International Film Festival.
