An avid climber, traveller and explorer, Eliza is one of the few women to have accomplished difficult big-wall/multipitch first ascents around the world, as well as having participated in mountaineering expeditions in the Karakorum and other mountain ranges around the globe. As a filmmaker, her works, from “What happened on Pam Island", to "K2 Touching the Sky", up to the recent "The Wall of Shadows", have won numerous awards not only in most of the International Alliance for Mountain Film festivals, but also in many other international film festivals not related to the mountain world. She is the 2023 recipient of the IAMF Grand Prize.
