Sílvia Subirós Mercader (Figueres, 1983) és guionista, realitzadora i docent.
Treballa en l’àmbit del documental creatiu, on combina la recerca formal amb l’exploració de relats personals, la memòria i els espais quotidians, utilitzant el cinema com a eina per pensar el món des de l’experiència pròpia.
Alterna el treball d’autoria amb encàrrecs per a televisió, institucions i entitats culturals, que es poden consultar a www.fosforo.tv. Ha dirigit documentals, curtmetratges i peces audiovisuals que han estat seleccionats i premiats en festivals com DocsBarcelona, Festival de Màlaga, Zinebi, Visions du Réel, Alcances, Indielisboa, Rizoma o Cambridge, entre d’altres.
Un dels seus treballs més reconeguts és La cuina dels homes (2022), estrenat al Festival de Màlaga i premiat a diversos festivals per la seva mirada crítica i personal sobre el llegat familiar i la construcció cultural de la cuina.
També ha realitzat peces com The Festival of Lies (2015), premiat a Visions du Réel, Can Gardell (2021), La Edad del Sol (2010) —Premi Alcances i Nova Autoría a Sitges—, o FILMA (2014), estrenat a l’Alternativa. El 2019 va crear les peces audiovisuals per a l’exposició El país dels cuiners (Museu de l’Empordà).
Els seus treballs més recents inclouen Dones en lluita (3Cat, 2025), sèrie documental dirigida per Txell Feixas, on ha treballat com a guionista i realitzadora, i el reportatge L’Escola inclusiva (30 minuts, 2025), com a realitzadora.
És llicenciada en Economia (UAB) i en Teoria de la Literatura i Literatura Comparada (UB), i ha cursat el Màster en Documental Creatiu a l’ECIB, així com estudis de Guió i Direcció Cinematogràfica. Aquesta formació transversal ha marcat tota la seva trajectòria, des de la creació audiovisual fins a la docència i la comunicació cultural.
