amalie atkins

Amalie Atkins is a multidisciplinary artist whose work hop-scotches from filmmaking to fabric-based sculpture to performance. In 2001, Atkins graduated with distinction from the Alberta College Of Art and Design with a major in Fibre. Working under the mandate of Minima Cinema she has completed eight short films, some of which have shown to small & large audiences in exotic locales such as San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, Connecticut, Lethbridge, Sackville, Toronto, Banff, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Montreal. She has been part of solo and group exhibitions. In 2003 she founded the Bike Ballet Club: a small but dedicated cycling trio. After months of training the show traveled to Ottawa and Montreal. She is also the co-founder and an active member of the Optronic Eye Film Club.

Amalie Atkins is currently employed as a designer of miniature costumes for a Saskatoon-based stop-motion animation show. Atkins’ first 16mm film project, Three Minute Miracle, supported by the Sask Film Pool and Saskatchewan Arts Board, was recently completed at the Banff Centre for the Art’s Imaginary Places Residency in June 2007.
