Tammy Salzl is a Canadian Filmmaker and Visual Artist. The tales she creates blend whimsy and melancholy to embody what it means to be human in today's world. Salzl received a Master of Fine Arts from Concordia University in 2014 and has presented her artwork and short films across Canada and internationally.
Salzl has been awarded several awards, grants and residencies in Canada and internationally, and uses them to make her beautiful parasites: work that enters the eyes through beauty, sinks to the gut with uneasy questions, then rises to the brain and festers over time.
