BIOGRAPHY

Kalina Bertin is an award winning filmmaker based in Montreal. After completing her degree in film production at UQAM, she quickly realized that if she didn’t set out to understand the mental illness in her family it would destroy her. This process gave birth to her award winning documentary film Manic, which had it’s world premiere at Hot Docs in 2017 and where Kalina received the Don Haig Pay it forward award. Manic has been nominated for two Canadian screen awards and two Iris awards (Gala Quebec Cinema). It continues to screen in prestigious film festivals around the world, such as the Moscow International Film Festival. Aiming to build empathy and awareness toward such a complex condition, Kalina recently completed a virtual reality experience which will enable the viewer to explore the world of manic depression from within. She presented this project in development at the MIT Open Documentary lab and at MUTEK’s Atelier Grand Nord VR. Manic VR will have it’s world premiere at Sheffield Doc/Fest in June 2018.
