Nina Gofur is an NYC based director, cinematographer and photographer. Her work is rooted in visceral images of the body and often explores themes of vulnerability and adolescence through non-linear narratives. Her mission is to honor the stories she tells and move the viewer. Working mainly with analog mediums, Nina wants to push the boundary of storytelling that will allow new perspectives to surface.
Growing up between Central America, Zimbabwe and Russian, Nina has always sought to uncover the meaning of home. Her most prominent childhood memory is the ever-changing landscape from an airplane window, which unlocked a fervent curiosity for each new environment she was dropped into. The process of documentation became a means to understand and seek the invisible thread between humans and their surroundings. Inspired by filmmakers such as Jonas Mekas and Agnes Varda, Nina found solace through her viewfinder. The act of seeing became imbued with love and, in turn, a way to feel at home.
While she now proudly calls Brooklyn her home, her love for documenting and storytelling has carried into her work, and she feels the most at home on a set, creating with long-time collaborators and new ones.
When she isn’t filming, Nina moonlights as a DJ. Her passion for music parallels her passion for film in the way that both seek to create space for people to be moved and come together.
