I see my craft as a way of helping each film to find its own voice.
My work as an editor includes LISTENING ALL NIGHT TO THE RAIN, representing Britain at the 60th Venice Biennale. This project is the result of a fruitful incursion into the world of video art with filmmakers such as John Akomfrah, through works such as Vertigo Sea, Arcadia and Four Nocturnes - all shown in major museums and galleries around the world.
Other films I have worked on include:
The Stimming Pool, screened at MoMA and selected for the BFI London Film Festival.
Splendid Hotel, starring Damien Bonnard.
Island, nominated for Best Documentary at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).
Hearing out Hate, premiered at the Malaga Film Festival.
After graduating in Media studies at the Complutense University of Madrid, I did an MA in Film Editing at the National Film & TV School. During my time at the NFTS, I won a Kodak Student Award two years in a row. Since then I have edited a wide range of projects that have participated in major festivals (Berlin, Rotterdam, CPH:DOX, Leipizig) and have been broadcast on Channel 4, BBC and The Guardian.
Together with Caterina Monzani I founded the production company MiaFilm and directed the documentary film La Valle dello Jato which won the award for best documentary at the Rome Independent Film Festival.
My wide-ranging interest in images led me to do a Masters in Visual Culture Research at Goldsmiths University. I also collaborate as a guest lecturer at different film schools and universities.
I am fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and French (delf2).
