Julia Solomonoff is an Argentine writer, director, and producer based in New York, whose work is rooted in international collaboration and an ongoing commitment to Latin American cinema. Her films move fluidly between intimate character studies and broader social panoramas, often exploring identity, displacement, and belonging with subtle, truthful performances and a touch of lightness.
Her feature films include Hermanas, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was produced by Vanessa Ragone and Walter Salles; "The Last Summer of La Boyita," produced by Pedro Almodóvar and winner of more than twenty international awards, including the ACID/Prix de la Jeunesse at the Cannes Film Festival; and "Nadie Mira," which won the Best Actor award at the Tribeca Film Festival, received the Silver Condor Award, premiered at the Film Forum in New York, and was named Critics' Choice by The New York Times and The Village Voice.
Solomonoff's television work includes the series "15 to the Hour" for Paramount+ (she was producer, showrunner, and director), the documentary series "Aerocene Pacha: A Sustainable Utopia" and "Paraná: Biography of a River". As a producer, she has supported emerging filmmakers in Latin America for more than two decades, collaborating on projects presented at Sundance, Venice, Berlin, and Toronto, including films by Alejandro Landes, Julia and Lucía Murat, Lucrecia Martel, and Alessandra Sanguinetti.
His work has been the subject of international retrospectives and forms part of the permanent collections of MoMA, Harvard University, and the Institut Lumière in France. He is currently developing new feature film and series projects, including "Deriva", winner of the Ibermedia Grant, and "Off Peak."
She has taught directing for over a decade, was appointed chair of the Tisch Graduate School of Film at New York University, and is now head of directing.
