MIRYAM (2020)

An introduction to Miryam Charles, a flourishing young artist in experimental cinema. Her voice and her film delineate the contours of her own history and that of her immigrant ancestors—a DIY poem that evolves from her words, spoken and sung. The film represents a unique new initiative aimed at highlighting filmmakers from Quebec’s immigrant community: for this first edition, the two laureates were Gabriela de Andrade and Alexandre Paskanoi.
