Career
Director
After studying art history and museology at Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris III, and Visual Arts at UQAM in Montreal, Malaury Eloi returned to live in Guadeloupe in 2016 to train in documentary filmmaking with the Ateliers Varan. There, she made her first short film, Chanzy Blues.
This period was pivotal, solidifying her commitment to documentary cinema and photography as powerful means of exploring human experience and the socio-political context in Guadeloupe. She then began a long-term research and reflection project on the city of Pointe-à-Pitre, titled L’homme-Vertige, from 2017 to 2023. This project has been selected in numerous festivals, including the Berlinale (Forum).
In 2019, she also trained at the International School of Cinema and Television (EICTV) in Cuba, studying the aesthetics of documentary cinema with Brazilian director Marcos Pimentel. Since April 2017, she has been the coordinator and cinema programmer at Varan Caraïbe, where she develops activities related to film distribution, programming, and image education, and oversees documentary filmmaking workshops, working alongside director Sylvaine Dampierre.
