She is one of the most important directors on the current world scene, with a filmography that captures the inner workings of her country from the contemporary era to its colonial past, all from a radically personal perspective. She made her feature film debut in 2001 with The Swamp, which was awarded at Berlin and Sundance, and since then has directed several films such as The Headless Woman and Zama, which have been screened at major international film festivals.
