Campbell Dalglish is an award-winning filmmaker, playwright, and professor of film at The City College of New York (CUNY). His PBS/ESTV

feature documentary Savage Land (www.savagelandfilm.com) has won best feature documentary in ten international film festivals and was screened under special invitation at the Toronto Visual Anthropology Film Festival (2023) and Ethnografilm Festival in Paris (2024). Dalglish’s narrative short films — including the award-winning Road Kill, Charade of a Fly, Hard Way Out, and Dance of the Quantum Cats — have earned recognition for their inventive storytelling, community-based activism and visual style. His ethnographic film work includes over a dozen shorts broadcast nationally on The New Morning Show (2006–08), among them Apache Womanhood, Havasupai Falls, Navajo Runner, Temazcal (Sweat Lodge) and What the Elders Say.

A dedicated advocate for regional cinema, Dalglish serves as a Suffolk County Film Commissioner and is Co-Founder of The Plaza Cinema and Media Arts Center

He also attended Colorado State University (1969–70) under a fellowship for poetry.
