Her films, including 350 MYA (2016), Horses in the year of the dog (2018), and The Stammering Alphabet (2019), have screened at venues around the world, including the Toronto International Film Festival, Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, EXiS Festival, Images Festival, Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, LA Film Forum, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Edinburgh International Film Festival, and two previous editions of Media City Film Festival.
