Biography

Malin Dahl is a writer-director whose work inhabits the threshold between intimate realism and existential gravity. With a distinct and uncompromising authorial voice, she explores grief, guilt, human relationships, and emotional vulnerability in narratives where the familiar gradually shifts into something unsettling.

Her filmmaking embraces both restraint and contemplation, alongside a more untamed register in which dark and absurd humor is allowed to surface. Driven by a desire to push boundaries, she excavates the parts of ourselves we strive to conceal - resisting simplification and refusing easy resolutions.

Working across both short and feature-length formats, her films are continuously presented at prestigious international festivals, including Uppsala International Short Film Festival and Göteborg Film Festival, where she has participated with multiple works over the years. Her films reach audiences through theatrical distribution, television, and streaming platforms.

With a background in 2D and stop-motion animation, Dahl’s cinema is marked by formal experimentation, strong artistic integrity, and international ambition - articulated through a poetic and exploratory visual language.
