Vivienne Dickmakes single and multiscreen work which combine elements of documentary, performance and fiction. Her films are concerned with gender politics, social issues, ecology and possible futures. Dick was a key figure within the ‘No Wave’ film movement of late seventies New York which was led by filmmakers such as James Nares, Eric Mitchell, Lizzie Borden, Scott and Beth B, Charlie Ahearn and others. She later went on to make work in the UK, and in recent years, Ireland, where she now lives.

Her work is in the collections of MoMA, Anthology Film Archives, The Irish Film Archives, The Office of Public Works, Ireland, and is distributed by Lux UK and The Film Makers Coop NYC.
