Iris Ng

Iris Ng is a Canadian cinematographer, most noted for her work on documentary films.^[1]

She worked on short films in her early career before working with Min Sook Lee on My Toxic Baby as her first full-length project.^[2] She then became more widely known for her work on Sarah Polley's acclaimed film Stories We Tell, which established her reputation as a cinematographer whose work combined the ability to "blend into a situation but also remain present as a human who can be supportive".^[3]

Working alongside director Lin Alluna and human rights activist Aaju Peter on their film Twice Colonized, Ng says: "Lin had a very decisive vision for the film’s reliance on verité filming and the incorporation of Super 8 to metaphorically illustrate scenes from Aaju’s past. I have a portfolio with both of these attributes, which allowed us to connect and develop a common vision for the film. Further to that, I am very interested in directing my creative energy toward projects that highlight critical and underrepresented stories. This film's challenging subject matter with its experimental elements felt especially enticing as well."^[4]

In 2024, she was announced as the subject of a special program highlighting her work at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.^[5]
