Laida Lertxundi

Born in Bilbao in 1981, Laida Lertxundi is a filmmaker and artist based in Los Angeles. She received a Master from the California Institute of the Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Bard College. Her work, shot primarily on 16 mm in and around Los Angeles, is made with people, landscapes and sounds, and employs a fragmentary approach to editing in which cinematic forms of storytelling are replaced by a focus on process and materiality.
