PAULA BOFFO
Directorx / Autorx
I am an animated film director and comic artist, born in Buenos Aires in 1994. I directed the short films Santa Sombra (2022) and Luz Diabla (2024), selected at over 20 festivals including Sundance, Annecy, FICG, Anima, and BITBANG.
As a comic artist, I was published by Penguin Random House with the book El Viaje Real, and my graphic novels La Sombra del Altiplano, Si mojás me enciendo, and Santa Sombra have received awards and been exhibited in France, Spain, Algeria, Italy, and Argentina.
I was selected for labs such as Stories by Women (Disney, WIA), Residencia APALAB, Annecy + Ventana Sur, and Ibermedia Next. I have worked commercially with Cartoon Network, Netflix, UNOPS, and human rights and gender-focused organizations.
As a member of the studio Ojo Raro, I develop author-driven projects with a transfeminist and Latin American perspective. Among these are Santa Sombra and Luz Diabla, selected at multiple festivals including Sundance, Fantasia, and Annecy.
I believe animation and comics are powerful tools for shaping possible presents and futures.
