Career
Career
Willi posthumously realized and edited the material of Michael Glawogger, who died of malaria during the production of an untitled film project in Liberia in 2014. Under the title Untitled, it premiered in the Panorama section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2017. Willi created the film using the footage from Glawogger's four and a half months of shooting through the Balkans, Italy and Africa. It also incorporates excerpts from Glawogger's diary. At the 2018 Austrian Film Awards, Untitled received four awards, including Best Documentary and Best Editing. In 2017, she was inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2019, for her work on Wolfgang Fischer's Styx, she was awarded an Austrian Film Award in the category Best Editing. In January 2023, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for her work on Todd Field's Tár. In his review of Tár, David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Editor Monika Willi makes the expansive running time of more than two-and-a-half hours breathe, but also fly by with gripping tension".
