Biography

Director, producer and cinematographer Miryam Charles lives in Montreal. She has produced several short and feature-length fiction films. Her first art-house short Vole vole Tristesse (2015) tackles the theme of social struggles. Winner of the Prix de la meilleure œuvre d’ art et expérimentation des Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma, this film introduced Miryam Charles as a filmmaker. This was followed by several experimental shorts exploring the same themes: Towards The Colonies (2016), Une forteresse (2018), Drei Atlas (2018) and Second Generation (2019). Well-received by critics and widely shown on the international festival circuit, his long first feature-length documentary (on the borderline between experimentation and fiction) Cette maison (2022) deals with the security of the habitable place and the violence that can jeopardize it. Launched at the Berlin Film Festival, it won the Silvestre award for Best Feature Film at the IndieLisboa International Film Festival. His short fiction film Au crépuscule (2022), about eating disorders, is selected for official competition at the Locarno International Film Festival. The year 2022 marks the filmmaker’s real breakthrough.
