Natalia Fentisova is a filmmaker and media artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Working across film, video installation, and audiovisual performance, her practice moves between documentary and experimental forms, exploring perception, memory, and transformation through image and sound.

Working with both analog and digital media, she engages with the materiality of film, creating images through direct interaction with light, texture, and process. Her work explores psychological and physical transformations, as well as questions of cultural and social identity, often through an experiential approach that foregrounds perception and lived experience.

Her films and installations investigate states of transition—between inner and outer worlds, past and present, presence and absence—approaching cinema as a sensory and experiential space, informed by phenomenological ideas of time and perception. In installations and performances, she creates immersive environments that engage the viewer physically and perceptually, exploring embodiment, space, and technologically mediated experience.

In her films, she adopts an observational approach attentive to subtle gestures and temporal rhythms, unfolding through subjective perspectives, atmospheric intensity, and a shifting boundary between reality and inner experience.

Her work has been presented at international festivals and exhibitions, including Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Bradford International Film Festival, Tallahassee Film Festival, Vorspiel at Transmediale, and the Venice Biennale of Architecture.

She is also the writer of the documentary films Peilhorn – Your Drama in V Acts and And They Will Talk About Us, extending her practice into narrative and research-based forms.
