Marie Martorell

Marie Martorell has been part of RaFilm since 2017. It all started with the short film, Kvinnliga Situationen Repr, that was screened at several film-festivals in Malmö and won the Pixel Price for best music in the Pixel Festival in Ystad 2017.

With a  background in social anthropology where she was active in questions about indigenous peoples and were a member of IWGIA (International Workgroup for Indigenous Affairs), an organization with NGO status in UN she has always been interested in the situation of exposed peoples and individuals that fights for their rights with different means.

So now with documentary filmmaking, Marie wants to highlight questions about suppressed peoples and how they deal with their situation. To challenge norms and question societal structures. 

She is also interested in essay films and has touched upon animation in an EU project, Storytelling Without Borders, a project with workshops for young refugees in Denmark and Sweden among others.

Currently she is working with a project in Petra, Jordan about the lives of the Bedouins and their special situation.

Kvinnliga situationen

The short film Kvinnliga situationen was created in 10 days by Gullis Beauvior, Sara Poppler Carredano and Marie Martorell in connection with a workshop facilitated by Sunshine Socialist Cinema and RåFILM film collective in Malmö. The film was shot during a performance, a rehearsal and an interview with the hip hop group Kvinnliga situationen. The film wants to raise the voices of some young women where they discuss what rap means to them and how it gives them the opportunity to give their views on and express thoughts about life and frustration over what Swedish society looks like.
