Exile Room is exclusively staffed by women who have worked in every aspect of the film industry, from festivals to production. Yet, although film technology is changing at lightning speed, one thing remains the same: the industry is dominated by men. This year, Exile Room is organizing a series of screenings and workshops to encourage young women to try their hand at filmmaking and we want as many female voices to join the discussion as possible.
Experimental documentary filmmaker and professor Natalia Marin is 1/3 of the film collective "Los Hijos", who live and work in Madrid. Her work combines observational documentary, avant garde and video art. Natalia Marin will teach a masterclass on Experimental Documentary and Self Expression, focusing on women's issues, as she takes a closer look at the equality of the sexes within the filmmaking landscape. The masterclass will be combined with a full "Los Hijos" retrospective prior to her arrival.

Right after the Berlinale, Spanish filmmaker Natalia Marín makes a brief stop in Athens to initiate Greek audiences into experimental documentary. Part of film collective “Los Hijos”, Marín and her collaborators have invented a genre of their own, where ethnography meets avant garde.
