2011 FILM/VIDEO RECIPIENT

Natalia Almada

FILMMAKER

"To me, film is a tithe for memory, a cost I gratefully pay in order to actively make sense of the world."

Exploring experimental and documentary cinema, Almada combines artistic expression with social inquiry to make films that are both personal reflections and critical social commentaries. Her films are visually stunning, often lyrical and bold as she grapples with ideas/issues of identity, history, violence, memory and loss.
