Irene Margrethe Kaltenborn (f. 1997) is a Norwegian filmmaker and artist from Honningsvåg with master’s degree from the Art Academy in Malmö. Her artistic and cinematic works are based on in depth research and a great commitment to history, phenomena and contemporary discourses, often examining the relationship between humans and the surrounding environment. She is concerned with how the eye and gaze of the camera can create alternative ways of seeing the world, and how we can interact with the non-human around us through a deeper understanding and empathy. With a personal, poetic, and painterly visual language, she moves in the borderland between documentary and fiction. Her films have been screened at Arctic Open, Dhaka International Film Festival, Bergamo Film Meeting, HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival, DOKFILM and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. In 2025 she received the jury’s award for the film “Choreographies towards loss” at The North Norwegian Art Exhibition.
