Marina Freixa

Marina Freixa Roca (Barcelona, 1993), with a BA in Audiovisual Communication from the UPF, is a filmmaker and editor specialising in documentary film and the socio-political impact of audiovisual work. Between 2015 and 2018 she was a partner of the cooperative METROMUSTER, with whom she promoted projects such as Tarajal: Desmontando la impunidad en la frontera del sur (2016) and Idrissa: Crónica de una muerte cualquiera (2016). In 2017, along with Sofia Esteve, she directed the documentary series Follo Ergo Sum (Betevé) and, later, without abandoning her interest in directing and script writing, she specialised in editing through a Postgraduate Degree in Editing from the UPF-BSM.

As post-production coordinator and editor, she has worked on audiovisual projects for Barcelona City Council, the Catalan Women’s Institute and the Reina Sofia Museum, and on documentary films such as Agua Turbia: El Negocio de Agbar en México (2020), ¡Abramos las cancelas! (2021) and Baula (2022), the documentary for the National Culture Awards. Her audiovisual creations, thought and communicative actions are often linked to social and feminist movements in Barcelona, with a special interest in LGTBI+ genealogies, archival studies, found footage and new formats for representing and highlighting.
