Erin Weisgerber is a Tiohtià:ke/Montreal-based artist working primarily with photo-chemical film – as well as video and sound – to produce installations, performances, and short films.

Weisgerber is a member of the Double Negative Collective, a group of moving-image artists dedicated to the creation and exhibition of experimental and avant-garde cinema and who maintain an artist-run film lab. Since 2019 she is a member of Jerusalem in My Heart a live audio-visual performance project, with Lebanese producer and musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh.
Weisgerber’s films have screened at venues such as the Karolovy Vary IFF, Ann Arbor IFF, Oberhausen ISFF, CROSSROADS, EXiS, the LA Filmforum, and the Cinémathèque Québecoise; and in installation at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Matadero Madrid, and the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture.
