S4 E2 - Issabella Orlando - Writer, Filmmaker & Creative Producer (Topos)
Episode 2
Friday, 1 August, 2025

In this episode of The Reel Girl's Club, I'm joined by Canadian-Italian, filmmaker, writer and creative producer Issabella Orlando, to explore her stunning short film, Topos - a poetic reflection on place, heritage, and the archeology of identity.Blending ancient myth with visual storytelling, Topos meditates on what it means to be rooted in a place, to inherit memory, and to make art that honors cultural lineage.Issabella and I discuss how material culture, language and sound shape narrative - and how a short film can carry deep emotional and historical weight. We also touch on Issabella's background in Classics and archeology, and her broader vision for storytelling that bridges the past with the present, and much more.You can discover more of Issabella's work here and here.
