Julia Solomonoff

Julia Solomonoff

Julia Solomonoff, a filmmaker from Argentina and professor at NYU Grad Film. I directed three feature films (Hermanas, The Last Summer of la Boyita, Nobody’s Watching) two documentary series (Parana, biography of a river and Aerocene Pacha, a sustainable utopia) and a TV series for Paramount +. This will be my first time at Catwalk and I am excited to focus on a rewrite of my new film. ”Off Peak” is a story about gentrification of the Hudson River Valley, of love and belonging, about the housing crisis and about the dangers of good intentions without political awareness.
