Biography

Anne Émond (born 1982) is a Canadian film director and screenwriter, currently living in Montreal, Quebec.

Since then she has written and directed seven short films, including L'Ordre des choses (2009), Naissances (2009), Sophie Lavoie (2009) and Plus rien ne vouloir (2011). L'Ordre des choses won the Coop Vidéo prize for best direction in 2009 at the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois. It was also nominated for the Claude Jutra Award. Naissances was selected as one of the ten best Canadian short films of 2009 by the Toronto International Film Festival and was nominated at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. Émond's short film Sophie Lavoie won the prize for best short film at the Festival du Nouveau Cinema.[source?]

Her feature debut, Night #1, established her personal style—a style distinguished by long takes, theatrical monologues and themes such as youth loneliness and female sexuality. Émond received the Claude Jutra Award for best first feature film of the year at the 2012 Genie Awards ceremony.

Her second feature, Our Loved Ones (Les êtres chers), was met with positive reviews at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2015, and its Canadian premiere took place at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015. The story begins in 1978 in a small village in Lower St. Lawrence, when the Leblanc family is shaken by the tragic death of Guy. In December the film was announced as part of TIFF's annual Canada's Top Ten program—the ten best Canadian feature films of the year.
