Martina Attille, also known as Judah Attille (born 1959), is a British filmmaker and contemporary artist. In 1983, she was a founding member of Sankofa Film and Video Collective, together with Isaac Julien, Maureen Blackwood, Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Robert Crusz, an initiative "dedicated to developing an independent black film culture in the areas of production, exhibition and audience". Attille wrote and directed Dreaming Rivers, a 1988 film that "illustrates the spirit of modern families touched by the experience of migration", and which was an award winner at the Mannheim Film Festival.
