Ariela Dorf has a sensitivity to the unseen, to the hidden places where truth lives. The imperfect, the raw, the fleeting are the moments she gravitates toward, translating them into images that carry a quiet sense of permanence. She has directed work for brands including Samsung, Adidas, Dove, Facebook, Kellogg’s, and Volkswagen.
Ariela approaches filmmaking as a way of paying attention. Her films are cinematic portraits of human experience, intimate and observant, revealing the beauty in everyday life. Her work includes Postpartum Under Pressure for Baby Dove, a tender exploration of the postpartum journey, and her collaboration with the NGO AIDES, both recognized internationally at festivals including Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, LIA, Ciclope Latino, El Ojo, Shots Awards, and Vimeo Staff Picks.
