About
Michelle Citron has made numerous media pieces including the CD- ROMs As American As Apple Pie and Cocktails and Appetizers, and the films What You Take for Granted and Daughter Rite, a ground breaking experimental narrative about mothers and daughters, which Vincent Canby in the New York Times hailed as a "stunning achievement."
Her work has been shown at museums and film festivals around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney, The Kennedy Center, the American Film Institute and the New Directors, Berlin, London, and Edinburgh film festivals. Her films are distributed worldwide and are in over 200 permanent collections.
She has received two National Endowment for the Arts Filmmaking Grants, a National Endowment for the Humanities Media Grant, and Illinois Arts Council Fellowships for both Filmmaking and Screenwriting.
Her book, Home Movies and Other Necessary Fictions (Univ of Minn Press, 1999) won three awards, including a special commendation from the Krasza-Krausz Book Award, which cited the book for being "an extraordinary blend of autobiographical and film writing which offers a radical new way of thinking and writing about film." She was named the Van Zelst Research Professor in Communications for 1991-92 at Northwestern University, where she was a Professor in the Department of Radio/TV/Film. She is Director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Associate Dean of The Graduate School at Northwestern. She holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin/Madison.
