As the spotlight fades, the mystery of filmmaking remains. Ornella Salnot is a young Guadeloupean woman who decided to conquer the Seventh Art almost by chance. Based in Montreal for a few years now, Ornella is an up and coming director. For Qamar, she talks about her career and her ambitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cTalking is really not my thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settled in her apartment in the heart of Montreal, Ornella Salnot is all in contrast. Even from the other side of the screen, it is easy to be caught by her presence. And yet it is with a shy voice and a smile that she tells her story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe images, the writing \u2013 I write a lot \u2013 I prefer that. It allows you to dare and be more vulnerable and explore the depth of your emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By her own admission, Ornella has always been quiet and reserved with a deep sense of observation. People fascinate her. People inspire her. Our complexities and contradictions make the best subjects. And after all, there is nothing more human than filmmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy relatives, my relations, and then myself\u2026 human relationships are the basis of filmmaking. When you make a film it\u2019s so that it touches others, in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And filmmaking arrived almost by accident in Ornella\u2019s life. Unsure of the path to take after a scientific course in high school, she headed for a DUT in Multimedia and Internet, a trendy diploma that exists as a gateway to the content creation industry. It\u2019s a choice made on instinct \u2013 audiovisual is a field that has aroused Ornella\u2019s curiosity since childhood \u2013 that will undoubtedly change the course of things for the budding artist still looking for her own path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe made a student short film and I loved the experience. I just fell in love with the creative process. It\u2019s just magical \u2013 having an idea, writing a story, breaking it all down and figuring out how to put it all on film. It\u2019s exciting and that\u2019s how I decided I wanted to go into film!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>
\n

<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Native of Guadeloupe, Ornella knows that building a career in filmmaking \u2013 and the arts in general \u2013 is more than atypical. Euzhan Palcy, Christian Lara, Jimmy Laporal-Tr\u00e9sor or Jean-Claude Barny are the few recognised filmmakers from the French-speaking Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realised that we don\u2019t naturally push our youth into the arts, filmmaking all the more so. It\u2019s something that seems totally out of reach for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with the unconditional support of her parents, Ornella, DUT in hand, took off for Canada to pursue her dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy parents, and I thank them very much, are people who just want their children to be happy. Of course they would have preferred me to become a doctor, but they followed me without even asking questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada is a land of promise for many young Caribbean people looking for an alternative to hexagonal France. A plethora of opportunities, an extremely dynamic job market, and a large French-speaking community are all assets that make the Far North particularly attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy best friend moved there while I was doing my DUT in Guadeloupe. I went to visit her, so I could experience it for myself. I spent an exceptional two weeks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all it took to convince Ornella to move to Montreal where studios are plentiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told myself that I had to move and the following year I told my best friend that I would come and study with her and it was probably the best decision of my life! Montreal is a multicultural city where you meet people from all over. We also shoot a lot of big American productions here, which has enabled me to grow much faster than if I were somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ornella, filmmaking is another world. It is with stars in her eyes that she describes her first visit to MELS Studios<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe set, the atmosphere, the people working on a set \u2013 all of that is huge! I was like a kid. To visit a studio is to leave the real world behind. And until you\u2019re part of that world, there\u2019s no way to know what it really looks like. From my experience, people who work in filmmaking are very discreet and talk very little about their craft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ornella is not idle. Since she has settled down, she has worked on multiple projects and is starting to leave her mark. Selected for several programmes, she has also set up her own company, OML Studios, specialised in content creation for the fashion industry and has tried her hand at modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast year, I was lucky enough to be selected for the Advanced Cinematography Workshop<\/em> programme hosted by Black Women Film<\/a>, a Toronto-based non-profit organisation. It was amazing because I was also the very first candidate from Montreal to be selected \u2013 usually they only take candidates from Toronto. The workshop gives emerging cinematographers the opportunity to work on a film scene with Black Women Directors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t end there. Ornella was also able to venture into the art of documentary in partnership with one of her classmates, Roya del Sol<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRoya is very talented. Together we shot the last scene of Boss Lady Skate<\/em> with special access to some of Netflix\u2019 studios, one of the programme\u2019s sponsors. It\u2019s a documentary about the very first woman to open a skate store in North America. It should be out soon!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But Ornella also produces her own projects. More intimate films where she becomes more vulnerable and questions her world. While suffering from homesickness and loneliness, she films Dans mes pens\u00e9es<\/em>. A true work of catharsis, she stages an imagined conversation with her mother where she allows herself to express a sorrow that has been kept silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am not the same person I was when I was in Guadeloupe. I felt a widening gap between my mother and I, which made me very sad. So I made a work of it. It\u2019s a topic I never discussed in person with my mother, but it was my own way of healing that heart wound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A project of great sensitivity that will allow Ornella to participate in Fulture<\/em><\/a>, the virtual exhibition organised by the collective Never Was Average<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the project she is most proud of to date is a short film, Figures<\/em>, about Black women\u2019s relationship with the Barbies of their childhood. In this documentary, with no official release date yet, three women from different generations describe the effects of a lack of representation at an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt started from my own story. My sister and I didn\u2019t really have dolls or else they were blonde or brown-haired. But I remember one of them had a little deeper skin tone than the others. It quickly became my favorite. And looking back, I can see why \u2013 it\u2019s just because it looked a little more like me. I thought it would make a good topic. It\u2019s the very first documentary I\u2019ve made that is inspired by Ouvrir la voix<\/em> by Amandine Gay whose work I really like. Maybe one day I\u2019ll publish it but not for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Ornella, filmmaking is a second nature that gives her an inexplicable feeling of well-being. The filmmaker has found her way and to create is just an extension of herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt all starts with writing. I\u2019m a bit of a mess but I\u2019ve come to understand and accept that so I don\u2019t fight myself anymore, it\u2019s no use. Anything can start from an image and I start writing before moving on to the next step. I also like painting. Sometimes ideas come to me in surprising ways \u2013 a colour, a texture. I save everything until I\u2019m ready to finish the project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Ornella may not have really expected was to take her first steps into the world of modeling. More comfortable with her androgynous look since moving to Canada, Ornella has allowed herself to play with her image. The art of staging is an undeniable common point between the two passions of the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has always been an interest of mine, but I wasn\u2019t comfortable with my appearance. It\u2019s still very much frowned upon in our country for a woman to dress in a more masculine way. This comes with its share of remarks and innuendos. Here, I let myself play with my style, which earned me some compliments and encouragement. I let myself be convinced and started walking the runway last year. I think my androgynous look is my strength, but I can also be very versatile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continues, \u201cBecause I do photography, I was able to learn how to stage myself, which helped me gain confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating her own opportunities could be the motto of Ornella who together with her two partners organised their own fashion show where she also made a place on the catwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOthers won\u2019t always be there to give you a chance. But you can show what you are capable of. With my team, we organised the Chaos Fashion Show<\/em>. Not only did it prove to myself that I could do it, but it opened other doors for me. Since then, I\u2019ve done three more fashion shows this year alone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Created two years ago in partnership with two of her best friends, LAX<\/a> and Ma\u00eblle Bonnegrace, OML Studios<\/a> is an adventure in itself. Beyond their technical skills, the three young women continue to add string after string to their bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOML Studios brings us a lot \u2013 in terms of experience, encounters, etc. We wear a lot of different hats, from creating to realising projects, finding funding, contacting models or canvassing clients. These are skills we\u2019ve acquired over time. The Chaos Fashion Show<\/em> was event planning on a different scale. It was the first time we worked with so many people \u2013 designers, models, stage designers\u2026 it\u2019s coordination down to the last minor detail. Entrepreneurship allows you to multitask and better appreciate what others are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An experience that Ornella treasures in order to share it better. Transmission has an important place in the heart of our director who wishes to democratise the profession and make others benefit from her knowledge as she could benefit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was on the set of a film when I realised that the steadicamer<\/a> was also Guadeloupean. It made us both so happy. He was happy to see a young native woman going into an industry that has few people of color and fewer women. He shared his experience with me and gave me some advice. It made me feel good having him there. We Caribbean people are really everywhere!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean is a bastion of creation. And like our English and Spanish speaking neighbours, the French Caribbean is brimming with talent that, unfortunately, often struggles to be discovered. The local industry is slow and it is difficult to make a place for oneself on the monochromatic scene that is France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to come back to share what I\u2019m learning because if I don\u2019t do it, what\u2019s the point? It\u2019s important to come back, to give the keys to make the film industry evolve at home. Since I started, I realise how invisible we are on the screen and how blind we are to the richness of our islands \u2013 with all that happens there, our stories, our culture, we deserve to be seen by the whole world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div>
\n

We deserve more movies, more series where we see ourselves put on screen, where we can say, tomorrow I\u2019m going to the cinema to see people who look like me in different genres \u2013 a horror movie, a romantic comedy, animation, etc. we shouldn\u2019t deny ourselves anything!<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ornella is definite. Filmmaking is a healing tool like any other and we need it more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a lot of trauma in the Caribbean, there\u2019s so much to do. There are so many things to heal. We need to restore our confidence, to give ourselves permission to dare. I really believe that we have excellent actors, we are very natural. It would be incredible if we had a local actress who ends up in big international productions. I want to create vocations and allow talent to emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when asked what she dreams of, there is no hesitation in her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollaborating with Jordan Peele. He\u2019s a director I admire for his creativity and style. It\u2019s a wish I put out into the universe! I\u2019m confident it will happen, remember it in a few years!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To those who would not dare, Ornella has only one advice to give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo for It! Whatever the field, don\u2019t ask questions. You\u2019ll understand later. When I chose filmmaking, I didn\u2019t even know what it was. Believe in yourself and don\u2019t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. It\u2019s true that filmmaking can be intimidating and it\u2019s a closed environment, but it\u2019s an environment of passionate people who will always be happy to help, guide, give advice. So don\u2019t be afraid, we\u2019ll see you out there!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
