Amy Greenfield (born July 8, 1950 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA) is a filmmaker and writer living in New York City.
At their retrospective of her films, the Museum of Modern Art wrote, “Amy Greenfield developed a new form of video-dance, choreographing for the video camera and television screen.” The Whitney museum writes, “Amy Greenfield shows us how camera and human movement can be ecstatically joined together.” And film critic David Sterritt says in Cineaste Magazine, that she is “...today’s most important practitioner of experimental film-dance.”[1] Greenfield has directed, produced, edited, and often performed in more than thirty films, plus holographic moving sculpture, live multimedia, and video installations.
In 2007 she was honored by the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC in Cine-Dance in America, from Thomas Edison’s 1894 Annabelle to Greenfield’s 2002 Wildfire.
In February 2010, YouTube removed the videos "Element" and "Tides" from its service saying the representation of nudity offended the site's "community standards."
The National Coalition Against Censorship and the Electronic Frontier Foundation both intervened in support of Greenfield and the videos were promptly reinstated.
