Director

  • Maria Lloyd

    Maria Lloyd (b. 1973) trained at the International school of Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Since then she has been creating short films and visual theatre. Her experience of working extensively with teams of artists has led her to find a personal film language where art forms meet and challenge each other. Living in England for 13 years her films were commissioned and distributed by South East Dance Agency and Euroarts in Berlin. One of her first films won the IMZ prize in Monaco for best screen choreography. Her short films have been shown on European TV channels and screened in many international festivals. Salt, her last dance film, was filmed in the salt mine in Krakow and was a Norwegian, British, and Polish co-production.
