Nilüfer Neslihan Arslan is a filmmaker and scholar born in New York, based in Istanbul. Her practice lingers between theory and drift, treating the screen as both a surface and a place to get lost. Working across videographic criticism, screen cartography, and experimental moving-image forms, she traces how cities, sounds, and collective rhythms are inhabited, shaken, and reassembled. In 2024, she attended the Locarno Film Festival Documentary Summer School and was nominated as an Emerging Voice in Sight and Sound's Annual Best Video Essays Poll. In 2025, her music video Korsan Taksi received Best Music Video (Low Budget category) at the Mate Music Awards in Portugal, and her video essay The Naked Place: Towards a Screen Cartography was published in NECSUS.
