Director Biography - Evelina Groll

Evelina Groll is an artist based between Mohkinstis/ Calgary, AB, and the Coast Salish territory known as Vancouver, BC. Evelina's artistic mediums are constantly in flux but are usually centred around filmmaking, photography, textiles, poetry and prose. Since she was young she has been a ravenous learner of plant knowledge; as medicine, as food, and more recently to the broader scope of plant/human relationships. A course in Indigenous Ethnobotany at SFU launched her further into this field of study. Plant life is central in her work, as subject, material, photochemical developer, and spiritual guide. Evelina's work is experimental in approach, and has resulted in a diversity of films which have received international recognition.
