Director Biography - Marta Renzi

Marta Renzi is an independent filmmaker and choreographer whose work bridges dance and film in deeply human, community-centered narratives. She has made more than 75 dances for her Project Company, including her BESSIE-award-winning Vital Signs.
Her site-specific pieces in locations such as the Guggenheim Museum, Union Station and the Staten Island Ferry, led naturally to her work in video and film. Since 2005, she has directed, edited and produced over 30 short films and documentaries, often working with non-professional performers in real-world settings.
Her award-winning films have screened at over 300 festivals across the US and internationally. Renzi was the first recipient of a Dancing in the Streets award, and has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Jerome Foundation, and the NY State Council on the Arts. Her debut feature film, HER MAGNUM OPUS, was released in 2017.
