Kimber Sider
Artistic Director & Lead Programmer
artistic@guelphfilmfestival.ca

As a documentary filmmaker, performance practitioner, and academic, Kimber has a passion for the transformative potential of storytelling in all of its diverse forms. Kimber moved to Guelph in 2011 to pursue graduate studies in theatre and performance, and fell in love with the city’s natural charm, vibrant community, and passion for ecological and social justice.

Kimber has a soft spot for quirky documentaries that take an unconventional artistic approach to storytelling, and in doing so offer a deeper understanding of another’s experience and/or perspective.

As Artistic Director, Kimber looks forward to continuing the festival’s advocacy work, promoting diverse voices and striving toward gender parity in the film industry, while supporting (and growing) the brilliant community of artists that call Guelph home.
