Marisa Benito Crespo is a Spanish filmmaker and visual artist with a background in Fine Arts and a Master’s degree in Research in Art and Aesthetic Education. She is a professor of Audiovisual Media at the Mateo Inurria School of Art and Design (Córdoba).

As an artist, her work is shaped by sensory experience, imagination, memory, and photographic and cinematic language. She works with archival materials to rescue images from oblivion and establish a dialogue between past, present, and future.
