Michele Fleming’s films bring together most of the artistic disciplines with which she worked and combine the rhythmic observation of the world around her with references to other films and, most of all, a multitude of books; they feature work with the text on screen, portrayals of bodies and the alternating superimposition of colour and black and white.

Fleming taught many filmmakers at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago such as David Gatten, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Lee Jang-wook. She was also married to Zack Stiglicz and a good friend of filmmaker Will Hindle.

Fleming sadly passed away in December 2013.
