Viridiana Lieberman

Viridiana Lieberman has edited many features and series, most notably the award-winning documentaries, The Perfect Neighbor, The Sentence, I Am Evidence, Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power, Through Our Eyes: Apart, and Call Center Blues. An avid women’s sports fan, her directorial debut, Born To Play, premiered on ESPN and ABC in 2020. Following a semi-professional women’s tackle football team for a season, the film was a result of her book Sports Heroines on Film (published by McFarland) which analyzed patterns of representations of female athletes throughout film history. 

Other notable projects she's edited are Sony Pictures Classic’s Carlos, the ESPN 30 for 30: Breakaway and The Criterion Channel’s Queer Futures series. Viridiana wants to be a part of creating work that pushes storytelling into new forms, rooting with personal stories that shape not only our imaginations but how we see the world we want to be in.
