She holds a BA in Film and Television from the National University of Colombia and is a graduate of the DocNomads Master’s in Documentary Filmmaking (Lisbon, Budapest, Brussels), supported by an EU scholarship. Over the past decade, Laura has been awarded multiple grants from the Colombian Film Fund (FDC), USAID, and Idartes for a variety of projects in fiction, animation, and documentary. She has collaborated with production companies and public broadcasters in Colombia and Europe, producing works that span experimental shorts, animated series, and feature documentaries.
Her debut as a feature film producer, Severa Flor, funded by the Colombian Film Fund, is currently in post-production and will premiere in 2026. She is also developing Shaken, a co-production with Syria and Belgium supported by international residencies such as Visions du Réel Pitchlab, Cinemed & Aflamuna, and SIC in Brussels. Her work includes award-winning projects such as Tangible (Interfilm, Huelva 2017), Salvar lo posible (Idartes, 2020), as well as collaborations on acclaimed documentaries like Mute Fire – Pirotecnia (IFFR Rotterdam, 2019) and The Calm After the Storm – Como el cielo después de llover (Visions du Réel, 2020). Projects she has produced have reached international stages including Cannes, Rotterdam, Annecy and Visions du Réel.
Laura has also worked internationally as Lead Production Coordinator at Walking the Dog (Brussels) for Sylvain Chomet’s animation feature The Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol, which was screened at Cannes. Currently based between Brussels and Bogotá, she continues to create films and collaborations that expand across borders, seeking beauty within fracture and connection within absence.
Artist Statement
I believe cinema is both memory and resistance, a way to preserve what vanishes, to question what remains, and to imagine what could still be possible. My films are born from encounters: with people, with landscapes, with histories that resonate in silence. I seek intimacy within fracture, poetry within politics, and resilience within loss.
Between Colombia and Europe, I have learned that cinema does not belong to one place; it grows in dialogue, across languages and borders. Each project is a bridge between the social, the political, and the poetic, reflecting on how we inhabit space and how space inhabits us.
For me, filmmaking is not only the act of telling stories, it is the act of listening deeply, of creating spaces where memory and imagination can meet. In that meeting, cinema becomes what I search for: a fragile, luminous possibility.
