Aronofsky studied film and social anthropology at Harvard University before studying directing at the AFI Conservatory.

In 1997, he founded the film and TV production company Protozoa Pictures. His feature film debut, the surrealist psychological thriller Pi (1998), earned him the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival and an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay. Aronofsky then directed the psychological drama Requiem for a Dream (2000), the romantic fantasy sci-fi drama The Fountain (2006), and the sports drama The Wrestler (2008), the latter of which earned the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. He directed the psychological drama Black Swan(2010), earning him the Best Director. His later films include the biblical epic Noah (2014), the psychological horror film Mother! (2017) and the drama The Whale (2022). Aronofsky's film Postcard from Earth (2023) was produced and filmed exclusively for the Sphere in the Las Vegas Valley on its 16K resolution screen.
