Marie-Hélène Panisset
Réalisatrice et scénariste | Les films de l'hydre
Trained in ballet, art history and communication, Marie-Hélène began her career by directing short dance films. In 2010, she co-directed a first dramatic feature entitled Lucidité passagère and then devoted herself to documentary, touching subjects of immigration and sexual diversity. Nominated at the Academy Awards in 2019 for having produced the short film Marguerite, the pandemic allowed her to perfect her art of filming the performing arts through a series of 9 half-hours of dance and music. Chiennes de faïence, her dramatic feature as solo director will be opening at this year’s Festival Cinéma du monde in Sherbrooke.
