Lea Glob (1982) graduated as a director from the National Film School of Denmark in 2011. She co-directed Olmo & The Seagull with Petra Costa in 2014. In 2016, together with Mette Carla Albrechtsen, she co-directed the feature documentary Venus, about sexuality from a female perspective. The film became a moment to share thoughts on sexuality and identity in an attempt to formulate a language and reclaim the female body. Glob followed the story of Apolonia Sokol for years, creating a double-sided portrait of the artist as a young woman. Apolonia, Apolonia is her first documentary feature as a solo director.
