Lydia Cornett is a documentary filmmaker from Baltimore, Maryland. As a former musician turned filmmaker, she makes work that unites the restraint of observational storytelling with the physicality and connection she associates with music-making. In 2019, her film NARMIN’S BIRTHDAY was a recipient of the NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre, and it premiered online with NoBudge after winning the Festival Jury Runner-Up Award at the Nitehawk Shorts Festival. Her subsequent film YVES & VARIATION premiered at BAMcinemaFest and went on to screen at the Hamptons International Film Festival, DOC NYC, Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, and Aspen Shortsfest. It was acquired for The New Yorker’s documentary series in August 2020.
