Felicity E. Palma is an image-based artist and curator whose research considers human mobility and stasis, place, and myth-making through the intersections of documentary, performance, and experimental time-based practices. She is predominantly concerned with the social construction and fluidity of borders, tourism as performance, notions of belonging, embodiment, alienation, and the senses. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, CA, Felicity is currently based in Pittsburgh, PA, where she is a Visiting Lecturer in Film and Media Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, and Film Programmer-at-Large for Massive Cinema. She holds a BA in Language Studies from UC Santa Cruz, an MA in European and Mediterranean Studies from New York University and an MFA in Experimental & Documentary Art from Duke University. Her work has screened internationally at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Kinodot, Split Video Art Festival, Bideodromo, Orfeo on the Beach, Harkat 16mm, Traverse Vidéo, ICDOCS, WNDX, among others. Felicity also curates screenings of experimental, independent, and transnational films for Sideyard Cinema, an outdoor microcinema project she founded in Durham, North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic.
