Karla Condado is a Mexican film director, screenwriter, and photographer. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Cinematography from the Higher School of Film [ESCINE, by its acronym in Spanish, Escuela Superior de Cine]. Her work has primarily focused on directing and cinematography, with experience in both fiction and documentary projects.
In addition to this, she has collaborated on numerous film projects. Among her works as a cinematographer are the short film Yaxche'ob—nominated for the Ariel Award for Best Documentary Short Film—Bajo un mismo cielo [Under the Same Sky], and Lo raro [The Odd].
In 2026, she released Miriam, her documentary short film created as a video letter addressed to her aunt, who was a victim of femicide. This film delves into memory, absence, mourning, and the process of healing through an experimental audiovisual composition that integrates multiple image formats. The project was supported by the Program for the Promotion of Artistic Creation and Development [PECDA fund, by its acronym in Spanish, Programa de Estímulo a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico]. It also had its international premiere at Berlinale Shorts, and was part of the selection of the Guadalajara International Film Festival and other festivals.
