Dorothea Sing Zhang works between hyper-synthesized aesthetics and near-documentary realism, exploring a practical surrealism. A Slade alum, she later studied film at the Ecole de Leth with Lars von Trier, Jørgen Leth, and Thomas Vinterberg. Her Masterpiece Mommy (TIFF ’24, Dokufest EFA nominee) and A Small Fiction of My Mother in Beijing(TIFF ’25) mark her acclaimed “Mommy” trilogy, now concluding with Girl in Dune.
