Ira A. Goryainova is a film director, audiovisual artist, and researcher based in Brussels. The relationship between body, camera, screen, and spectator is her main area of interest, which she explores in essay- and montage films, video installations, and performances. Thematically her focus is on the body under extreme conditions — such as illness, death, and suffering — and how they can be read as political metaphors while still conveying explicit bodily, non-narrative meanings. Goryainova’s work has been shown at IDFA, Hot Docs, Visions du Réel, Thessaloniki Film Festival, Artdocfest, Argos, Halle für Kunst Steiermark, ISELP, RIDM, Imagine Science Film Festival, Deutsches Theater Berlin, among others. Currently she is a researcher and teacher of hybrid and documentary film making.
