Astrid Malter

Astrid (she/her) is a documentarian from Sunset Park, Brooklyn. She graduated from Carleton College with a degree in Cinema & Media Studies. Her nonfiction work is interview based and revolves around urban and environmental change. Her films have screened across the country at the Coney Island Film Festival, New York Climate Film Festival, Better Cities Film Festival, Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival, Sidewalk Film Festival, and more. In 2024, her film Flshing Injustice* won the Social Impact Award at the World Water Film Festival. When she’s not click-clacking on a computer, she enjoys listening to WNYC, knitting tiny animals, and drinking Yogi Kava Stress Relief Tea — sometimes all at once.

At Woodward, Astrid will be working on an embroidered map of every street in Brooklyn in preparation for Open Data Week NYC.
