Sophia Mocorrea grew up between Germany
and Argentina. Dealing with her two
nationalities and by that two identities in
her works she questions and deconstructs
the structures in which young people are
socialised within and between cultures.
Her award-winning short film Matadoras
was screened at numerous festivals,
such as Uppsala and Vienna Shorts, and
was shortlisted at Cannes Critics’ Week.
Her graduation film El Secuestro de la
Novia (The Kidnapping of the Bride, 30
min.), won the Best International Short Film
Award at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival,
and received an honourable mention at
the 73rd Berlinale, and screened at the New
Directors/New Films Festival. She is currently
developing her first feature film Marriage by
Abduction, which won the Les Arcs Talent
Village Award and was invited to the Toronto
Film Festival.
