Chiara Hollender is an Iranian-American filmmaker, director, and storyteller based in New England. Hollender's work is deeply empowered by the voices of women, and the beauty of land and nature as a whole. She seeks to disrupt the homogenization and colonization of women's bodies, and has been called to capture stories that focus on healing. 

 

Mostly working in the documentary space, Chiara has produced work for the DIY Network, Discovery Channel, Vermont PBS, and Maine PBS. She's also worked for Radical Media, AMC Networks, SLMBR PRTY, Silent Crow Arts, and TBA Films in NYC.
