With a background in photography, Montreal-based Eisha Marjara first drew attention with the satirical THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN. But it was her feature NFB docudrama DESPERATELY SEEKING HELEN that established her as a groundbreaking filmmaker. The film received the Critic’s Choice Award at the Locarno Film Festival and the Jury Prize at the München Dokumentarfilm Festival. It has been described as “one of the most auspicious film debuts on the Canadian scene.” VENUS is her first fiction feature.
