SKILLS
ABOUT LIA TARACHANSKY
I am an award-winning documentary filmmaker, journalist, and scholar with two decades of experience in production and story development. My work bridges investigative, long-form, poetic and experimental documentary forms. The films I’ve directed and helped as The Doc Doula won prestigious awards at Sundance, premiered at Berlinale and at TIFF. They have also toured internationally through Impact Distribution community-engaged models.I care deeply about form and rigorous storytelling that engages history, politics, and culture in accessible ways. I also spend much of my time developing and continually adapting the filmmaking process itself as each film is different.In 2026 I will complete my PhD in Cinema and Media Studies at York University, Canada. My doctoral work looks at decolonial gestures through emerging media like Augmented Reality, Interactive Documentary, and Immersive Forms. For this research I won the prestigious Elia Scholarship and MITACS awards.I teach film production, narrative concepts, and cinema studies at Humber College, York University, and the Toronto Metropolitan University where I help early career filmmakers sharpen both their ideas and their craft.
