bio
Lamia Chraibi is a Moroccan, Canadian and French filmmaker.
She is particularly interested in the themes of social justice, identity, family and territory. She also deals with subjects related to body language and social art.
The human being is at the heart of her approach. Her studies in social science (Sorbonne, Paris) and in documentary (INIS, Montreal) have shaped her sensitive and committed vision of the world. Her art is nourished by her identity questions, her migratory journey and her travels.
Lamia's cinema is based on time and the trust established with the protagonists. With a poetic approach, her camera gives a voice to the forgotten from diverse backgrounds.
Her work has been acclaimed at international festivals. CIRCO received the Outstanding Feature Documentary and Outstanding Feature Director awards at Reelworld, Toronto (2025), while Like a Spiral won Best Documentary Writing at Filministes (2025) and Best Short Film at Mizna Twin Cities (2025), and was a finalist for Best Short Documentary at the IRIS Québec Cinéma Awards.
Deeply committed to equity and representation in the arts, Lamia is also actively involved in various cultural organizations that amplify the voices of underrepresented artists.
