Noelia Chañe

Madrid, 1998. Director and screenwriter with a degree in Film Direction and Audiovisual Arts from TAI. She has been working in advertising, music videos and fiction for over five years as an assistant and second assistant director on numerous film shoots. She has also complemented her training with workshops on directing and directing actors alongside professionals such as Javier Fesser and Cristina Perales. Her work has been recognised at festivals such as Notodofilmfest, where her short film ‘Esta voz de mi cabeza’ was a finalist and nominated for the TVE Cámara Abierta 2.0 Award for Best Documentary. She has also directed two music videos for the group Taburete (En mi cama and Aviones sin fuel) and the comedy series for TikTok Trini la Becaria.

Magma is her first auteur short film outside the academic sphere and marks the beginning of a more personal line of work, focused on the sensory, the body and non-normative identities. Her creative vision is nourished by the small things that transform us and the bonds that define us.
