Lilian Hess is an artist, filmmaker, and producer working between Berlin and London. She graduated from London’s Goldsmiths College with a BA in Modern Literature and an MFA in Screen Documentary. An alumna from renown programs like the Biennale College, Berlinale Talents, and the European Creators Lab, her work spans film, photography, and immersive formats, often exploring themes of the body and personal histories. Her latest immersive installation Duchampiana (2024) premiered at the Venice Biennale and has since been exhibited in Prague, London, Brussels, Miami, and Paris, receiving numerous awards along the way. Her feature documentary Observations at 65º South, originally acquired by Netflix in 2022, was most recently picked up by Disney Plus and is slated to premiere on the platform in fall 2025. In addition to her creative work, Lilian is deeply involved in producing and curating digital art exhibitions and film festivals, including Short Waves, BFI Expanded, and the VRHAM! Art Biennale. She regularly serves on juries for artistic awards such as the Innovate UK Immersive Tech Awards and frequently gives talks and workshops at institutions like the Zurich University of the Arts, Berlinale Talents, and the Goethe Institute, where she shares insights on the digital body, storytelling, and case studies on best practices in production.
