Last updated: August 15, 2024

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Bobby León is a self-taught director and photographer. Having spent many years in dance studios with the Canadian company AP&A, she developed a profound love and admiration for movement, which took her to all corners of the world, touring with the company as their visual director and board member, and influencing her artistic approach. 

From advertising to music videos, short films and fashion films, or projection designs for the stage, Bobby’s interests are varied, making her a prolific and curious artist, always seeking to make space for humanness and difference in front of the camera.

Her work, a true reflection of her talent, has been showcased at the prestigious Venice Biennale in 2023; nominated at Les Victoires de la Musique in 2024; and has received numerous accolades and awards, notably at the Independent Shorts Awards (LA), Berlin Indie Film Festival, Mirada Cortada, Berlin Fashion Film Festival, and Tokyo Cinema Awards, solidifying her international recognition. She also has been selected as one of Canada’s top emerging directors to keep an eye on by LBBOnline.

She currently lives in London, UK, and frequently travels between London, Paris, and Canada for projects.
