Laura Bari
Režisér, Producent, Scénárista, Střihač
Originally from Argentina, self-taught filmmaker Laura Bari has lived in Montréal for twenty-five years. She chooses cinema as her mode of communicating the convergence of art, identity construction, mental health, and education. Antoine (2009), her first full-length film that she both produced and directed, is about the imaginary life of a blind boy, and was shown at some 30 festivals around the world, winning some 15 prizes. Her second film, Ariel (2013), is about a man who rebuilds his identity after a terrible accident, and also was shown in several international festival including IDFA, Thessaloniki and BAFICI. Primas (2017) completes her trilogy and reveals once again the power of imagination through her unique artistic approach that pushes the boundaries between the real and the unreal.
