Ondi Timoner

Ondi Timoner - Director, Producer

Ondi Timoner is an internationally acclaimed Emmy-nominated filmmaker whose work focuses on “impossible visionaries.” She has the rare distinction of winning the U.S. Grand Jury Prize at Sundance twice: for Dig! (2004), about the collision of art and commerce through the eyes of two rival rock bands, and for We Live in Public (2009), about the loss of privacy online. Both films were acquired by New York’s MoMA for its permanent collection. Ondi’s most personal film, Last Flight Home, about the extraordinary life and intentional death of her father, Eli Timoner, premiered at Sundance and Telluride in 2022, was Oscar-Shortlisted, nominated for the WGA Award for Best Documentary, and was nominated for an Emmy for Exceptional Merit. Ondi is the winner of the 2022 Visionary Award for Observational Filmmaker. She serves as the Chair of Nonfiction for Special Projects at the DGA, and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the WGA, the International Documentary Association, Film Fatales and Women in Film.
