Gabriel Murphy is a film director, writer, and producer working between Kambuwal and Gadigal Country, across the Australian continent, and overseas. A graduate of the Masters in Documentary Filmmaking at the AFTRS, he directed ENEMY ALIEN; a short film about Australia’s WWII-era Concentration Camps, premiering at Antenna Festival, and internationally at DOCNYC. The film won the ADG Award for Best Direction in a Student Film in December 2023.

Murphy is in post-production on his next non-fiction film; EDWARD FOR COUNCILLOR, about a strange city council election in Australia’s strangest city; the Gold Coast. He is also in development on his feature debut MACHINE ZONE; workshopped in UnionDoc’s 2024 Summer Development Lab in New York City.
