Biography
Andrea Jaurrieta Bariain was born in Pamplona, Navarra, in 1986. After graduating in Audiovisual Communication from the Complutense University of Madrid, she completed her studies in directing at ESCAC and dramatic art at the William Layton Lab. She participated in the making of short films at the beginning of her career, including Entresuelo (2008), SED (2009), Todos acabaremos solos (2011), A pleno sol (2012), Los años dirían (2013) and Nuestras pájaros vuelan solas (2016). She used a crowdfunding campaign to finance her first feature film, Ana de día (2018), starring Ingrid García-Jonsson. Her work earned her a nomination for the Goya Award for best new director. Her second feature film, Nina (2024), premiered at the 27th Malaga Film Festival, winning the Critics' Award. In the film, starring Patricia López Arnaiz and which renews Jaurrieta's interest in the theme of broken identities already exposed in Ana de día, Jaurrieta once again opts for a type of cinema "far from naturalism."
