About
Sofía Castro studied art direction for film in Buenos Aires. With her first short film (Maids), she participated in the Vórtice residence for experimental film and video performance in Valparaíso, in the 16th VideodanzaBA Lab, and in forty international film and dance festivals including, Leeds Film Festival, Cinedans, In/Motion Chicago, Dance Camera West (with a semi-finalist status) and POFF Black Nights. In 2019, she was a featured artist in FIVER (Madrid) and the Encounters of Videodance (Valencia).
In 2020 she was nominated for her work in the British Film Institute’s Future Film Festival for young talent. She was also Durban’s International Contemporary Dance Festival’s first dance-on-screen curator and was awarded an Argentinian National Grant for the Arts for her contributions to arts and social transformation. She is currently working on her next project: a documentary short film that explores the relationship between Sign Languages and choreography as languages of movement.
