Kelsie Moore is an Emmy Award-winning Australian-American filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist based in Utah.
Her practice centers on documentary filmmaking, cinematic composition and music, with close, sustained attention to people, landscapes and the inner life of dreams and imagination. Her feature directorial debut, The Gerda That Remains, followed author and academic Gerda Saunders for six years as dementia unraveled her sense of self, and received a Mountain West Emmy Award in 2022. Her public media work has taken her across the American West, and her films have screened at festivals around the world. She has also won numerous Public Media Journalist Association Awards and was a featured artist in the Top Designs Alumni Exhibit at the Melbourne Museum in Australia.
Coming from a devout religious background, Kelsie has moved beyond its orthodoxy into new terrain. The friction of living between those worlds, and her two geographical homes, shapes her work and worldview. She explores belonging and transformation, and how identity takes shape through relationship, place and story. She builds an environment of trust and play in which personal and collective stories can emerge.
Alongside her film and commercial work, Kelsie writes, photographs and makes original music. Occasionally she leads a small, community singing lab from her living room.
