Kalil Haddad is an experimental filmmaker based in Toronto. He has written, directed, and edited over a dozen short films including: The Beautiful Room is Empty (20), The Taking of Jordan (22), His Smell (23), and Victim of Circumstance (24). His work has screened at Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Indie Memphis, Kasseler Dokfest, London Short Film Festival, and Pleasure Dome.
“One of the most important new voices in both queer and avant-garde cinema, Haddad’s work can alternate between languid and truly abrasive rhythms, often inhabiting a POV that feels truly dangerous in a filmmaking landscape for young directors so encouraging of “niceness”.” - Ethan Vestby, Bleeding Edge
