Sally Volkmann

Sally Volkmann (she/her) is an artist and documentary filmmaker. She is drawn to intimate, character-driven narratives, non-linear storytelling and the rich texture of archival. Her work reflects her interests in climate solutions, social justice, and the creative process.

Sally has contributed to the documentary community as a Jury Member for the IDA Awards; Contributing Editor at the Sundance Documentary Edit & Story Lab; Emerging Editor Fellow in the Karen Schmeer Diversity in the Edit Room Program; and served on the Steering Committee of the Alliance of Documentary Editors (ADE). 

Called to Create: Black Artists of the American South – a collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC – is her latest project in the arts. This five-screen immersive video installation was the first of its kind for the gallery. The projections placed the exhibit pieces in their original contexts and allowed the artists to tell their own stories.
