Ventaglio shifts into Stephanie Comilang’s cinematic lens on movement, migration, and belonging. Stephanie Comilang is a Filipina-Canadian artist and filmmaker known for weaving documentary and speculative storytelling into what she has called “sci-fi documentaries.” Her films trace how diaspora, labour, mobility, and global systems shape the way people belong, or are kept in motion, across borders. Working across moving image and installation, Comilang builds layered narratives driven by multiple voices, often foregrounding overlooked communities and the hidden architectures of power behind everyday life. Her practice is both poetic and investigative: tender to lived experience, sharp about economics and displacement. Within Ventaglio, Comilang’s perspective expands the fan beyond symbol, toward a vessel for stories, journeys, and the dignity of women and girls navigating the world.
