Mary Hanlon is a filmmaker and new media artist based in New York City. Her work is a reflection on—or a revision of—the myths and ideologies that influence visual culture and explores themes of memory, technology, and the subtle interplay between intimacy and privacy. Though her approach as a filmmaker varies, her work’s distinct style emerges through emotional resonance rather than explicit storytelling.
Mary holds a BA from The New School and an MFA from Hunter College. In 2014, she was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship. She has been a contributing writer for The Brooklyn Rail, and her films and installations have been showcased in New York, as well as nationally and internationally. Her first feature documentary, The Mirrored Road, was selected as a finalist at DOC LA in 2023.
