ISSABELLA ORLANDO IS A CANADIAN-ITALIAN FILMMAKER, WRITER, ARTIST, & CONSULTANT BASED IN LONDON. Obsessed with our roots, her focus in work and life is on heritage, craft, personal history, relationships with place, and experiences where arts & culture are born.

THROUGH HER CREATIVE STUDIO, AETIA, she works to capture these subjects and what they mean to people through documentary film, multimedia journalism, and creative content. Her Artist and Craft Profiles delve into the rich inner lives of creatives, and the origin stories of art, objects, and cultures through intimate conversations and bespoke visual vignettes.

IN HER ARTISTIC PRACTICE she writes personal essays and makes experimental films blending poetry and moving image, to further explore these roots through a more personal lens. Her work enquires into how the past shapes and remains tethered to our present lives through the vehicles of mythology, memory, landscape, grief and the supernatural.

Issabella is available for worldwide commissions, projects, and other inquiries.
