Julie Wyman is an award-winning filmmaker whose experimental
documentaries investigate gender and the body, seeking to complicate
our notions of power, physicality, and gender categories.
Her first feature, A Boy Named Sue (2000, 57:30), aired on Showtime
and Logo television after having screened at festivals on five
continents. Her 2004 experimental short, Buoyant, screened at the
MoMA's Premiere's series in 2005. Currently she is following the
ambitions of Superheavyweight Olympic weightlifter Cheryl Haworth to
be the strongest woman in the world.
Wyman is also part of the artists collective BLW, a group that uses methods such as the respeaking of archival video recordings and public meetings to explore the role of speech and bodily presence in our sense of political agency.
