Marisa Kelly is a Toronto-based writer, photographer, and aspiring filmmaker. She's passionate about capturing evidence of innocuous moments of the everyday, better defined as 'specific moments in time' from movement to small intimacies, often through the lens of 35mm or 16mm film.
She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Film and Photography Preservation at Toronto Metropolitan University, where she’s delving into the history of 1970s New York City bankruptcy and the photographs of disco dance to follow.
She holds her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Visual and Critical Studies from OCAD University, where she authored her thesis on Karnöffel playing cards and their connection to Mikhail Bakhtin’s "Carnivalesque."
