Gabriela de Andrade is a Brazilian-born director based in Montreal since 2009. In Quebec, she directed the short film Premier Juillet (Festival International du Cinéma de Femmes de Fort-Coulonge 2019) and the short film Miryam (FIFA 2020). Her new film, Iris, is the second in her poetic trilogy based on the voices of three Montreal women. With Iris (2024), the artist explores the boundaries of documentary cinema through a dialogic hybridization with her character. Gabriela recreates landscapes for the words of Iris, a close friend who has left Montreal for a nomadic life and with whom she nurtures friendship through voice messages.
