Orian Barki is a filmmaker and editor (b. 1985, Israel) whose practice interlaces documentary sensibility with a heightened attention to the textures of intimacy and youth culture. Rooted in autobiographical exploration and collective portraiture, her films unfold as loose, improvisational narratives that blur the boundaries between fiction and reality. Barki’s work probes questions of identity, belonging, and the construction of social spaces, offering raw yet meticulously composed glimpses into contemporary life. Through a distinctive approach to storytelling that merges vulnerability with aesthetic precision, she forges a cinema of immediacy and resonance.
