Kyle Armstrong

Overview

Kyle Armstrong is a filmmaker who focuses on engaging non-narrative short film. Often working with super8 and 16mm, as well as various video formats, Armstrong frequently uses hand-altering film techniques, employing bleaches, dyes, scratches, and paint to alter both his own footage and found films. His works have been screened at various galleries, during live performances and in traditional cinemas worldwide. His films are influenced by filmmakers as diverse as Stan Brakhage, Hollis Frampton, Bela Tarr, Alexander Sokurov, Guy Maddin and Andrei Tarkovsky.

Kyle has been working with Guy Maddin on the acclaimed director’s ambitious Spiritismes project as a “deputized” director, 2nd Unit Director and visual manipulator. Armstrong is currently collaborating on a 30 minute project EXTENSIONS with sound artist Mark Templeton based around Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, and in the fall of 2013 is producing Hans Olson’s feature film Figurine. He is a former recipient of the Edmonton Artist Trust Fund, and in 2012 he was a recipient of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artist Award. He is currently the president of the MetroCinema Society, and lives in Edmonton with his wife and three children.
