Biller considers herself a feminist filmmaker, and consciously explores feminist themes throughout her work, including an attempt to insert the female gaze into cinema.[1][2] Early lifeBiller was born in Los Angeles[3] to a Japanese-American mother who is a fashion designer and a white father who is a visual artist.[4][5] She grew up watching her mother design clothes, watching her father paint with a bright color palette, and watching classic cinema, all of which has had a big influence on her filmmaking practice.[6] She has a B.A. in art from UCLA and an MFA in art and film from the California Institute of the Arts,[7] where she studied under Morgan Fisher and Paul McCarthy.[8] She started making 8mm films while she was living in New York, and when she arrived at CalArts, those films were received better than her other artwork, so she decided to focus on that for her MFA.[9] CareerAt the beginning of her career, Biller was known for her short films and staged musicals,[9] which played with old Hollywood genres and tropes from the 1930s-'50s.[10] and her performance art that explored slapstick and camp.[11] She made her first short film, Three Examples of Myself as Queen while studying at CalArts. The process took about two years because she preferred to make the film more like an artist than a filmmaker, which meant she was closely involved in every aspect of the filmmaking process.[12] In the film, Biller plays Pointsettia, a teenager who turns into a princess and has the power to transform men into dogs.[13] The film screened at small venues and film festivals. Lane Relyea of Artforum International wrote "the film's humor and graceful perplexity may not have caused any sudden shifts in the local fault lines but did crack a glorious smile on this audience member's face."[14] John Hartl of the Seattle Times called it a "bizarre, Warholian musical fantasy."[15] In 2001, she directed two short films: The Hypnotist, a melodrama written by her frequent collaborator Jared Sanford,[13] and A Visit from the Incubus, a Western horror musical. A Visit from the Incubus tells the story of a woman who is raped by an incubus, and decides to get back at him by challenging him to a singing competition. Robert Nott of The Santa Fe New Mexican called it a "must-see".[16] Her 2007 debut feature film, Viva, tells the story of a bored housewife who goes out in search of sexual adventure in the 1970s. It premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam,[17] and won the Best of Fest Award at the Boston Underground Film Festival. The film was also entered into the main competition at the 29th Moscow International Film Festival.[18] Reason magazine called Viva an "uncannily precise rendition of the look, sound, mood, and arch dialogue" of seventies sexploitation films, with "high-key, pseudo-Technicolor lighting and spare, colorful set design."[19] Viva had a very limited theatrical release, and received poor ticket sales.[10] Biller's second feature film, The Love Witch, premiered in 2016 at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film is a twist on classic serial killer films, featuring a woman who kills through calculated sexuality and "love magic", causing her male victims to fall too much in love.[20] The film took Biller seven years to complete because of her attention to detail in directing, writing, costume and set design, and work with her cinematographer.[21] Richard Brody of The New Yorker said of The Love Witch, "Biller puts genre to the test of do-it-yourself artistry, and puts feminist ideology itself to the test of style. The film pulsates with furious creative energy throughout, sparking excitement and giddy amazement that it even exists."[22] In May 2016, The Love Witch was acquired for distribution by Oscilloscope Laboratories.[23] The Love Witch was included in many lists for the best films of 2016, including those of The New Yorker and Indiewire.[24][25] It won in a tie for the Trailblazer Award and Best Costume Design at the Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle Awards,[26] and also won the Michael Cimino Best Film Award at the American Independent Film Awards.[27] Anna Biller has said her next film will be a Bluebeard story.[28] Personal lifeBiller lives in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, author, Robert Greene.[29] She is vocal on both her website and in interviews about gender inequalities in the film industry[30][31]. On her Twitter page, she often discusses her own struggles as an independent female director in a very gendered industry.[32] Filmography
