Eve Heller, born in 1961 in Amherst, is an American filmmaker based in Vienna, Austria.
[2] Her German mother and Austrian father had to emigrate from Austria to the United States in 1938 because of the Nazis.
Her teachers there included Peggy Ahwesh, Abigail Child, Peter Hutton, Paul Sharits and Tony Conrad.
Heller claims that the lively avantgarde scene there concerning all kinds of disciplines had a great influence on her work.
Through the editing of slowed-down and layered images she brings her source material into a new context and creates a dreamlike atmosphere.
