Marta Guillén (b,1996) is a film director and actress from Valencia, Spain.
Her professional journey began in the world of acting, starring in fiction projects including the short films “Noche en Europa”, “El último comienzo” or “Beso sabor dentífrico” among others. Simultaneously, her curiosity and desire to tell stories led her to graduate with a Master's in Film Direction from EFTI in 2022.
She has directed several pieces of documentary essays, fashion films, and video diaries. Her artistic work is born from intuition and is nourished by her obsessions about the world: the relationships with strangers, old age and childhood, self-portraiture, death, and the passage of time. Marta enjoys narrating stories through different forms of visual expression, blending various languages and disciplines.
She recently released her latest work, 'Blue Meteor' (original title 'Azul Meteoro'), a fiction short film set in her hometown. It premiered at the Cinemajove International Film Festival last summer and is continuing its journey through other festivals.
She is currently working on a couple of documentary projects. In early 2024, she was selected for the Dama Ayuda Script Lab with her project 'Liquid Generation'. And concurrently, she is developing 'Una Thermomix en el desierto,' a documentary project that was awarded at the Docslab of the Docs Valencia Festival and has been recently selected for the CIMA Impulsa program.
Marta juggles in this fast-paced world to be able to tell her stories (and to try to challenge the algorithm). ((She speaks English, Valencian and some of French. She's also dreaming about being a flamenco dancer star.--but that's another story--)).
