Liz Walber is a feminist, experimental filmmaker located in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Her primary interests are internet subculture, porn studies, histories of sex work, herbalism, apocalypse narratives, and Jewish lesbian poetry.
She's directed two experimental documentaries: New Daughters (a film about online sex work and feminist academia) and Artifact (a virtual seance in response to a sexual assault at her high school). Her narrative film Cam Girls was a three part chronicle about herbal abortion, online sex work, ASMR, female celebrity iconography, and online spectacle and authorship.
As the video editor for the Yiddish Book Center's Wexler Oral History Project she edits and directs shorts about Yiddish culture and Jewish American artists. Her current projects consider climate change anxiety and lesbian experience.
