Miss Liliana Colombo

About

I am a filmmaker and lecturer in filmmaking in the department of Film and Photography at Kingston School of Art where I primarily teach editing and sound across different film practice modules. I am a graduate of the MA Experimental Film at Kingston and previously lectured in media and creative practice at the University of East Anglia, Bournemouth University and King's College London.

My film work seeks to recontextualize historical, social and environmental events by often utilising archive and found footage. My films have been presented and awarded at numerous international film festivals such as the Locarno Film Festival, RIDM Montreal, DocumentaMadrid, Tampere Film Festival, Flatpack, Mecal Barcelona, Documentarist Istanbul where my Icemeltland Park was nominated for a FIPRESCI award in 2020, and many more. 

Prior to moving to the UK and starting my film practice, I worked as editor and visual effects artist for broadcast television shows and major films in Los Angeles.
