Zoe Black is an award-winning filmmaker who brings playful, tender stories to life through bold visual expression. Their short documentary GIRLY is a joyful exploration of queer femininity and is currently screening at international festivals.
It won Best Documentary Short at LesGaiCineMad 2024, a Goya Award qualifying selection.
Other directorial work includes several short films and music videos, including the video for Roshan Ruprai’s Bulletproof which was screened at Tate Modern. Their feature project MOLL is in development and won First Prize at B3 HessenLab 2024.

From puppetry to lavish pink sets, Zoe creates imaginative work that invites audiences to see the world in new and exciting ways.
