Laura Kamugisha is a Montreal-based screenwriter, director and producer of Congo-Rwandan origin. Her films explore notions of cultural identity, memories and intergenerational baggage through visual poetry.

Her short films include Les Lavandières (TIFF Next Wave, VIFF, FNC, Brooklyn Film Festival 2023), Trait d'Union (RIDM 2020) and Mitochondrial (FNC 2020). She holds a bachelor's degree in Film Production from Concordia University, and would describe her projects-and herself-as sensitive, stubborn and intuitive.

Wanting to act as a voice for marginalized creators, she founded the production company SAGE COMME UN ORAGE.
