As an artist and thinker, Tiffany holds a number of tensions.  She is director of The Moxie Institute, an organization that creates films, discussion programs, theater experiences, and Internet experiments around social issues using emerging technologies.  At the same time, her new film, Connected, highlights the possibilities of new technology while revealing how it can destroy our connectedness.  She advocates a National Day of Unplugging.

These seeming paradoxes make for a great documentary filmmaker, as Tiffany is able to see multiple perspectives (visually and intellectually).  Tiffany’s films are a fusion of documentary and narrative and are known for their whimsical yet provocative approach to unraveling complicated subjects like politics, cultural identity, technology and science. Her films include “Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness” about reproductive rights in America, and “The Tribe,” an exploration of American Jewish identity through the history of the Barbie doll, the first documentary short to become the #1 on iTunes. She recently made, “Yelp: With Apologies to Allen Ginsberg’s Howl,” about our addiction to technology and the importance of occasionally “unplugging,’ which was selected as finalist for Guggenheim Museum & Youtube’s YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video and for Sundance 2011.
