Her most recent project, <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/937369743\">\u201cIsland of Elephants\u201d<\/a> (2024), documents the challenges elephants face as their habitats disappear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI like to dream and shoot film of whatever animal I\u2019m studying,\u201d Rinder said. \u201cI\u2019m studying the conflict with people and their conflict with animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout her career, Rinder has developed strong ties in India, working closely with local guides and communities. She also maintains connections to 51ÁÔÆæ, having collaborated with alumni such as Yinan Wang (BFA 2017, Film), now a lecturer. Her repeated trips to India have deepened her understanding of the country\u2019s culture and ecology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are all kinds of surprises and wonderful things. I love India; the people are really kind and helpful to me,\u201d Rinder said. \u201cAs an artist, I think the colors are beautiful, and everywhere you go \u2014 from the markets to the parties \u2014 celebrations are always happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Cinematic journey began at 51ÁÔÆæ<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Peck School\u2019s Department of Film, Video, Animation &amp; New Genres is recognized for its focus on experimental, non-commercial film. Rinder was among the first to attend and graduate from what is now known as the Cinematic Arts MFA program. Her time at 51ÁÔÆæ shaped her artistic approach and understanding of the medium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat I learned about film from 51ÁÔÆæ was a huge eye-opening experience about what film is, what is OK to do in film, and what the media is possible of doing,\u201d Rinder said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinder began her studies at 51ÁÔÆæ at age 29, after earning a bachelor\u2019s degree in fine arts from Macalester College and working a series of photography jobs. When she started graduate school, she had little exposure to experimental film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I started graduate school, I didn\u2019t know anything about experimental films,\u201d Rinder said. \u201cThere was a lot of work that went into manual filmmaking. It was a lot of independent black and white filmmakers. I just loved it; it was like photography but moving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since earning her MFA, Rinder has explored several other art forms in addition to film. She is a graphic artist, a published poet and continues to pursue photography. She integrates these creative practices into her filmmaking, seeing them as interconnected expressions of her artistic vision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lifelong learner, she encourages others to embrace the creative process, even when it feels uncertain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re frustrated or don\u2019t like something, let it sit for a while,\u201d Rinder said. \u201cIf you can, leave it for a week. Keep trying and making mistakes, try different things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lenore Rinder has built a long and accomplished career as an experimental documentary
