The search for identity is at the core of Colombian-Canadian director Lina Rodriguez’s intimate, richly impressionistic films. Informed by her own immigrant experience, her narrative features like SO MUCH TENDERNESS and THIS TIME TOMORROW and her acclaimed documentary MY TWO VOICES capture women in the process of discovering themselves as they wrestle with feelings of cultural displacement, fraught family ties, past traumas, and the social expectations that shape their lives. Her formally adventurous framing, editing, and sound design give sensorially textured expression to the complex psychic landscapes she maps.
