Liselotte Wajstedt, born in 1973 in Kiruna and currently based in Stockholm, works as a director and screenwriter, while also engaging in installation and visual art. Through her extensive body of experimental moving image work, she explores aesthetics and politics with recurring themes such as heritage, abuse, and identity.

Her experimental work includes more than two dozen short and feature-length films. Through hybrid documentary, experimental media, music video, dance, and fiction film, Wajstedt employs a wide range of styles and techniques in service of her political and artistic expressions, including animation, claymation, stop-motion, and superimposition. Many of Wajstedt’s films explicitly or implicitly engage with multiple and hybrid subject positions, as evident in EADNI (2023), Tystnaden i Sápmi (2022), Sire och den sista sommaren (2022), Kiruna–Rymdvägen (2013), Sami Daughter Joik (2008), and The Lost One (2014).
