Director

Chris Holliday (he/him) - From radio and television to stage and screen, Chris has spent his career championing the transformative power of film, storytelling, and performance. Over more than two decades in media and the arts, he has worked with organizations including the BBC, Gaydio, the Barbican, and Pride in London.

After a successful career in the UK, Chris relocated to the Hudson Valley, where he lives with his husband, Howell. He now curates world-class cinema and events at the Jacob Burns Film Center, and is proud to lead the JBFC's LGBTQ+ programming.

Through his curatorial work at JBFC and his time previously volunteering with The Trevor Project, Chris has long championed spaces where LGBTQ+ stories are told and LGBTQ+ lives are protected and celebrated — a mission he now carries forward with The LOFT.
