Biography

Melisa Liebenthal (1991, Buenos Aires) is a film director and editor. She directed the films The pretty ones (2016, 77 min.), Constanza (2018, 27 min.), Here and there (2020, 21 min.) and The face of the jellyfish (2022, 75 min.). Her films were awarded at Rotterdam, Berlinale, Mar del Plata and BAFICI international film festivals, and screened in FIDMarseille, Edinburgh and Torino film festivals, MoMA and Film at Lincoln Center, amongst others.

Her work reflects on the way we construct our identity in a contemporary world, from a clearly female perspective and playfully articulating different materials.

She is a film graduate at Universidad del Cine in Argentina and at Le Fresnoy - Studio National des Arts Contemporains in France. She specialized in Editing and Dramatic Structure with professor Miguel Pérez in Argentina, and in Essay-Film at Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) in Cuba. She is a Berlinale Talents (2021) and FID Campus (2018) alumna.

In 2024 she was a Junge Akademie - Akademie der Künste Berlin fellow in Villa Serpentara, Olevano Romano (Italy).
