Brenda Goldstein is a Toronto born artist currently residing in New York where she is an MFA candidate at Parsons the New School.

Her short films and videos have screened at Canadian and International festivals: the Images Festival (Toronto); World Wide Short Film Festival (Toronto); Herland Film Festival (Calgary); the Planet in Focus Festival (Toronto); and the PDX Film Festival (Portland) USA. In 2006, her work was included in Atchung! Baby, a program of performance video curated by artists Johanna Householder and Nina Czegledy. The program traveled to Bratislava; Slovakia, Budapest; Hungary, and Cluj; Romania. Her installations have been exhibited at the Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- und Videofest (Kassel), Germany; York Quay Gallery (Toronto), Mercer Union: A Center for Contemporary Art (Toronto); FADO Performance Art Center (Toronto), The Toronto Free Gallery (Toronto), and the Agnes Etherington Art Center, (Kingston, ON).
