Laida Lertxundi (Bilbao, 1981) works on the film making non-stories with non-actors that explore the terrain of diegetic space, creating a sound and image syntax in response to the way desire and expectations are manufactured and imbedded in the language of cinema. She is interested in the histories of experimental film, the possibility of a feminist language and the play between found environments and constructed situations. Her work has been shown internationally in museums, festivals and venues such as MoMa, Lacma, Viennale and the New York Film Festival views of the Avant Garde, Rotterdam, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia and Anthology Film Archives. She teaches film at the University of California San Diego and lives in Los Angeles, California.
