About

ANTI founder Natalia Antiqueira is an archive researcher and producer working at the intersection of narrative, documentary and cultural ethics. Her work spans archival research, rights pathways, background research, fact-checking, archival valuations, and project feasibility for archive-heavy productions - doing the work that keeps a production coherent, accountable and creatively alive.​

 

Before founding ANTI, Natalia worked at Getty Images as a Researcher, immersed in the world's largest footage and stills collections. She rebooted Getty's proof of concept project, developing workflows that helped producers and broadcasters assess archival viability and enabling equity deals. That role brought her into direct collaboration with major broadcasters and production houses in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, Brazil and the US.

Since 2024, she has worked independently, continuing to support Getty's PoC and story development consultancy, while signing her own projects, with credits in Australia and internationally. ​

 

She is an active contributing member to APA and FOCAL. ​

 

Fun fact: for her first documentary, Natalia assisted in the production and cinematography for the Student Academy Awards winning documentary Looking at the Stars, a heartfelt story that has motivated her since. 

 

​​From the founder:

 

I started film, writing and producing – sometimes behind the camera and at odd times as AD – until I moved to Australia in 2018, to study how communities want their cultural practices represented. I managed archives in museums and cultural heritage organisation, thinking about the ethics of who gets to tell which stories.​

 

Getty was the turning point: suddenly everything aligned. Research, ethics, archives, film and it all finally made sense as one career. Since then, I’ve followed the work where it leads, from quiet local archives to global broadcasters. ANTI grew out of that: a place to work deliberately, accurately and with care.

 

​Alongside my independent practice, I lecture and tutor units around ethics, cultural studies and visual representation at the University of Wollongong, Deakin University and the University of New South Wales. And I'm a doctoral researcher asking whether films represent cultural communities ethically, and the opportunities to do so in using archive.
