Aileen Ye is a filmmaker from Dublin. Her practice lies at the intersection of movement, and sonic and contemporary subcultures. She is drawn to the body as a site of resistance and communication, exploring how it navigates systems of power and refusal.

Her films have screened at BAFTA and Academy-qualifying festivals including BFI London Film Festival, Aesthetica, and exhibited at venues such as the BFI, Barbican, ICA, LUX, FACT Liverpool, NOWNESS Asia, and Art Rotterdam, winning multiple international awards.   

In 2023/24, she was awarded the Mondriaan Fund, and was a resident curator for Eye Filmmuseum. In 2022, she was selected for A24's mentorship programme, and awarded the FOCUS Award by EVCOM for her debut short. She is also a member of the artist-run filmlab, Filmwerkplaats, in Rotterdam.

She holds an MSc in Sociology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, specialising in decolonial aesthetics and autoethnographic cinema.
