Sophie Dupuis(I)

-Sophie Dupuis is a young filmmaker from Val-d'Or (Quebec, Canada) who studied at Concordia and Uqam. She has already shot several short films, including "J'viendrai t'chercher", in 2007, which toured a number of festivals. In 2008, she was lucky enough to be invited to France to shoot her film "Si tu savais Rosalie" as part of the import/export program at the Off-Court festival in Trouville-sur-Mer. In 2010, while already working on various projects, she was recruited by Crocodile Roux productions to co-write and direct a short fiction film in collaboration with teenagers from the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district of Montreal (Canada). In the summer of 2011, the festival du cinéma des gens d'ici asked her to create a film to celebrate the anniversary of her hometown. She then directed her first short documentary "Et puis on s'habitue..." (And then we get used to it...), in which she interviews Val-d'Or miners who talk about mine accidents, the physical consequences of working underground, but above all their love of the job. Meanwhile, she directed the touching short film "Félix et Malou", which was nominated for Best Short Film at the 2011 Jutra Awards. As if all this weren't enough, Sophie enjoys taking part in film events such as Kino, the Documenteur festival in Rouyn-Noranda and the "Fais ça Court" program broadcast on Télé-Québec, to multiply her experiences with the 7th art.
