Charlotte Colbert (born 1987[1]) is a British film director and multi-media artist which the Evening Standard described as "a natural born magician."[2] Her practice ranges from artistic installations which incorporate sculpture, photography and performative elements, to narrative feature-length films. Her directorial debut was praised by the New York Times[3] and won the Golden Leopard for Best First Picture.[4]

Colbert's work has strong philosophical undertones and often questions identity, dreams, the unconscious and the narratives we construct and tell ourselves. The surreal and fantastical become a way to look at our world afresh and find the space to question and reimagine. "Colbert conjures fantastical worlds by blending the boundaries between reality and imagination,"[5] writes the Design Museum.
