Aileen Ye is a filmmaker and visual artist 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, holds memory, rhythm, 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 2022, she was part of A24’s intensive mentorship programme, and in 2023/24, was a resident curator for Eye Filmmuseum.

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