Isabel Medarde

I am a producer and film director of León (Spain).

In 2010 I have founded an producer company called Bambara Zinema: producer of video clips, documentaries, webdoc, experimental cinema, etc.

I am also a producer of fiction short films by renowned Spanish authors in the world of short films such as Isaac Berrokal (The Brown House, Killrats, The Feat, etc.) and the works of the documentary maker and anthropologist Pablo Alonso (Matavenero y Maragatería).

As a film director I have made experimental film projects such as: Surya Namaskara. First person cinema like Sakespeare was not there. And film essay as Pressure, depression, expression.

One of the most important works I have done in a non-fiction and webdoc format it's The voice of the Village Council, about the ancestral figure of the Village Councils of northern Spain.

My most ambitious project so far is The wonderful spiral, an film essay on the figure of women pioneers of silent films. This project was the winner of the Villalar Grant of Contemporary Artistic Creation of Castilla y León in 2018 and, as the most relevant data, it is the first movie in history to be filmed with an open digital cinema camera, the Axiom Beta Camera, created by ºApertus, an european investigators team.

And in this moment I am next to finish the post-production of The wonderful spiral.
