Storm de Hirsch (1912. – 2000.) was an American poet and filmmaker. She was a key figure in the New York avant-garde scene of the 1960s, and one of the founding members of the Film-Makers' Cooperative. She pursued her career in arts, and exquisite animations. Her films are clearly influenced by her poetic background; she referred to her series of short, silent films shot in the 1970s as "Cine-Sonnets," and she continued publishing poetry throughout her life. Her films also reveal an interest in eastern religious practices and rituals. Her work explores the possibilities of light and is concerned with spatial elements.
