Paula Rodríguez Polanco is a Colombian film director, researcher, and programmer. She studied Philosophy, Art History and Cinema in Paris, where she has lived for ten years. She has directed the short films CAMPOSANTO (Festival Tous Courts 2019) and HELICONIA (2020), which obtained Special Mentions from the Jury of the FID Marseille First Feature Competition and the Altered States Competition of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.
Her films are closely related to her research work, where she investigates the materiality of the film in contemporary artistic practices and the relationship of the image with history and individual and collective memory. She is currently working on a PhD thesis on the aesthetics of Super 8 and 16mm practices in contemporary cinema and is in the development stage of her first fiction feature LOOK AT THIS MOUNTAIN: ONCE IT WAS FIRE produced by Mutokino (Colombian) and L’Heure d’été (France).
