Sam Jury (b. 1969) is an artist filmmaker who works across the forms of film, photography and installation.  She graduated with an MFA in Painting from Cornell University in 1998 followed by a two year Fellowship in Print and Digital Media at the Royal Academy Schools, London. She has lived and worked in the US and Middle East and is based in the UK. She exhibited internationally with solo shows in London and New York, and group shows in China, Spain, and Switzerland. In 2009 Jury was artist in residence at IMMA. 

Much of her work is concerned with the ability of moving image to reflect and impact on psychological states. For many years she has been interested in what she terms ‘suspended trauma’ - unresolved events replayed through shared narratives often supported by screen technologies. Working with these concerns, she makes both fiction and non-fiction films. The latter - an alternative form that sits somewhere between artist film and documentary - has, to date, focused on over-looked situations and instances of social injustice. Since 2017, she has been working collaboratively with SKLAD Cultural Space in post-conflict Abkhazia to co-produce artworks related to the long-term effects of geopolitical isolation. More recently she has been working with psychologists on a series of film works that reframe perceptions of Tourette’s Syndrome in the public domain.
