Marta Bergman

With a degree in journalism and communication from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, she began her career in journalism before turning to filmmaking. She has written and directed several films that explore the boundary between fiction and documentary. Her first feature film, Alone at My Wedding, embodies this hybridity. Her work is permeated by the issue of migration, with a particular focus on the plight of minorities.
