Alecska A Short Bio
An artist's statement
Alecska is an emerging filmmaker based in Montreal, QC & Burlington, VT.
Feeling. Emotions. Interactions. What makes us human. How we are living beings.
After a career in photography and several exhibitions in Paris, France, she moved to Canada in 2011. Now she works as a director and cinematographer to create beautiful content with meaning and emotions. Her short films has been screened at various theatres and artist-centers in Montreal and Paris. Her poetic style stands between Video art and Experimental cinema, and navigates genres from fashion to activism, from events to portraits.
Pursuing the themes of Wishes, Hopes, Fears and Nightmares, I continue what I started in photography: working on the very core of what makes us alive, and how we deal with that. Contrasts, tensions, contradictions, passions. With each encounter, I explore souls and hearts. I feed on music and movies and journeys. Inspiration can come from a mood, a song, a frame, a light. A vibration. Alecska
