Cherry Nin is a film director and artist whose projects center subvert ecologies and the reification of life in defiance of capitalist death drives. Synthesizing inner dream-worlds with harsh outer realities, their projects stage outskirt, post-industrial spaces as sites of underground passage for women, queer people and sex workers.

Nin’s films have been presented at Canal Projects, Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Wexner Center for the Arts, Spectacle Theater, The Kitchen, and basements, galleries, and theaters across the United States. They hold an MFA in Moving Image from Bard College, and have participated in residencies including Wexner Center for the Arts’ Film/Video Studio, KAJE, and Outpost Artist Resources. Nin is a 2026 recipient of the New York State Council on the Arts’ Media Arts Assistance Fund, and The Future of Film is Female Short Film Fund.
