Loira Limbal is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in documentary film, video installation, and DJing. Limbal’s most recent film, Through The Night is a cinema verité portrait of three working NY mothers whose lives intersect at a 24-hour daycare center: a mother working the overnight shift as a hospital nurse; another holding down three jobs to support her family; and a woman who for over two decades has cared for the children of parents with nowhere else to turn. Through The Night garnered a duPont-Columbia award, was a New York Times Critics’ Pick, premiered at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, and aired on PBS’ POV series in May 2021. Limbal’s first film, Estilo Hip Hop, was a co-production of ITVS and aired on PBS in 2009. She is a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow, a NAACP Image Award nominee, and a 2024 Creative Capital Award grantee. Limbal received a B.A. in History from Brown University and is a graduate of the Third World Newsreel’s Film and Video Production Training Program. She lives in Puerto Rico with her two children.
