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, on the late fertility doctor Karbaat who secretly used his own sperm to inseminate his patients, was selected for the prestigious Sundance Film Festival and Prix Europe (2021). The series was broadcast on Dutch television by the VPRO in 2021. Her graduation film, with the same title, won various international prizes. In 2020, Miriam directed the primetime documentary Laws of the Sea, which was nominated for a Tegel—the most renowned Dutch prize for journalism. 

Her project Seahorse Parents, which aims to celebrate the image of pregnant transgender people, was exhibited at photography museum Foam (2023).

Miriam is currently directing two feature length documentaries: Front Row (produced by Scenery) and Sanda Dia (produced by Tomtit film), which will debut in 2024 & 2025.
