Life and career

[edit]

Andrea Jaurrieta Bariain was born in Pamplona, Navarre in 1986.[1] After earning a licentiate degree in Audiovisual Communication from the Complutense University of Madrid, she took further education in direction from the ESCAC and dramatic art from the William Layton Lab.[2] She involved in the making of short films in her early career, including Entresuelo (2008), S.E.D. (2009), Todos acabaremos solos (2011), A pleno sol (2012), Los años dirán (2013), and Algunas aves vuelan solas (2016).[2] She used a crowdfunding campaign to fund her debut feature,[3] Ana by Day (2018), starring Ingrid García-Jonsson. Her work earned her a nomination to the Goya Award for Best New Director.[4]

Her sophomore feature Nina (2024) premiered at the 27th Málaga Film Festival earning the Critics' Prize.[5] In the film, starring Patricia López Arnaiz and renewing Jaurrieta's interest in the theme of broken identities already displayed in Ana by Day,[6] Jaurrieta bet again on a type of filmmaking "far removed from naturalism".[7]
