Memories of a Burning Body (Spanish: Memorias de un cuerpo que arde) is a 2024 drama film written and directed by Antonella Sudasassi Furniss. The film starring Sol Carballo and Paulina Bernini, portrays the story of Ana, Patricia and Mayela, who, educated in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, found the meaning of femininity through unspoken rules and implicit impositions.[1][2]

A co-production of Costa Rica and Spain, the film was selected in the Panorama section at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival where it had its world premiere on 19 February 2024,[3] and won Panorama Audience Award for Best Feature Film.[4]
