Thoughtful and candid, Saiz moved from screenwriting to direction with her first short, “Mujer sin hijo,’’ which won a Malaga Festival Audience Award in 2019.

I sometimes feel very lost. We all share an urgency to be deeply personal in everything we do while at the same time – and this is my very personal opinion – I often feel like I’m forming in a system which prefers to frame me as a woman, as a female individual inside the system. This I find potentially dangerous. It can lead to a filmmaking that becomes ever more pamphleteering and less and less personal.
And yet never has so much content been produced. Doesn’t that allow space for so many new ways to address the topics at hand… It was very organic. I studied screenwriting at the ECAM and never saw myself directing. But many who read my scripts thought I would end up doing so. Now when I read them I see they are very directed and highly conditioned in their visuals. So by the end of film school I threw myself into the world of short films – also because I had finished very young and didn’t have that pressure some of my colleagues had of getting a job.
