Miriam Guttmann (1994) is an Amsterdam based documentary filmmaker and photographer. In her work, Miriam aims to broach sensitive subjects, such as identity, parent-child relationships, sexuality, and social injustice. Through her open attitude she strives to demonstrate the nuances of her subjects in a society prone to black-and-white thinking, to create empathy and relatability.

Her three-part series Seeds of Deceit, about fertility doctor Karbaat who secretly used his own sperm to inseminate patients, was selected for the Sundance Film Festival and Prix Europa (2021), and distributed internationally to more than 20 countries by Dogwoof. Her graduation film of the same title received multiple international awards.

Miriam directed the primetime documentary Laws of the Sea (2018), which was nominated for a Tegel, the Netherlands’ most prestigious journalism prize. Her project Seahorse Parents, celebrating pregnant transgender people, had a solo exhibition at Foam Photography Museum in 2023.

Front Row (2023), executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, premiered at DOC NYC, was selected for more than 20 international festivals, and received a nomination for a Gouden Kalf (the Dutch Academy Award).

Miriam is currently working on the feature-length documentary Sanda Dia, scheduled for release in winter 2026.
