Deborah Stratman

Filmmaker Deborah Stratman works in a territory between experimental and documentary genres.  In her films and frequent work in other media, including drawing, sculpture, sound, photography and small press, she explores the history, uses, mythologies and control of highly varied landscapes, from Muslim Xinjiang China to suburban southern California. Her recent work addresses American constructs of Freedom, the junction between technology and faith and contemporary locations of the supernatural.  She continues to solicit public responses about FEAR (to participate, call toll-free 1-800-585-1078).  Stratman teaches in the School of Art & Design at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
