Hannah Jayanti

Hannah Jayanti is a documentary filmmaker, organizer, and educator. She centers process-driven and formally expansive nonfiction as an ethical and political practice—circling around questions of landscape, listening, memory, and time. Her PhD research in Film & Digital Media at UCSC focuses on interdisciplinary practices of place, how time is expressed and constructed through narratives with a focus on speculative practices, and documentary studies with an emphasis on poetic and collective praxis. She is currently working on Topography, an expanded documentary project that explores the hidden histories embedded in public lands through live-edited performances, installations, community projects, and documentary films.
