Sílvia Ballesteros

Estudiant de Comunicació Audiovisual a la Universitat Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona. Des de sempre li ha agradat explicar històries i construir nous mons. La seva afició pel cinema neix als dotze anys quan descobreix l’art d’explicar tot el que imagina a través d’una càmera. L’any 2020 rep una menció especial al concurs Participa Méliès amb el curtmetratge Segueix-me i el 2021 el seu treball de recerca titulat Una vida de cine aconsegueix un dels premis de la UVIC. Com a espectadora, li agraden les pel·lícules que la fan pensar i no la deixen indiferent, aquelles que podria veure una vegada i una altra vegada sense problema, com ara Amélie, Interstellar, The Truman Show, Paris, Texas o Back to the future.
