Gabrielle is an emerging filmmaker and editor based in Montreal. Her compositions take an immersive approach, driven by imagery, music, and rhythmic composition. She uses contemplative storytelling to create narratives that are both socially engaged and poetic. Her films explore themes related to architecture, urban transformations, and social issues. She combines her unique creative vision with solid technical mastery in post-production. Passionate about editing as a space for invention, she develops hybrid universes where documentary and experimentation intersect. Curious and audacious, she brings her projects to fruition with a rigorous method, while also leaving room for improvisation and discovery. She readily experiments with a variety of tools, integrating visual effects, animation, and video collages to serve her artistic vision.

Director Statement

I want to create a sense of urgency, as people are losing their right to the city. The architectural beauty of our built heritage is being replaced by impersonal designs. All housing is gradually becoming uniform and stripped of its architectural originality due to the logic of investment profitability and the exclusion of lower social classes from the city.
Our vision of the future is too often dystopian. Let’s imagine, for once, a fair and sustainable society. The Solarpunk movement is a vision of society that promotes renewable energy, community sharing, and inclusivity. It is not a utopia, as it is based on concrete technological means.
