Sophie Deraspe fell into cinema through visual arts and literature. She had worked mostly for documentaries, as both a director and a cinematographer, before directing her realism-bending first feature length film Missing Victor Pellerin (2006). Thanks to critical acclaim and projections throughout the world, Sophie’s realistic work has continued with her second feature film Vital Signs in 2009. It premiered at the Montreal Nouveau Cinema Festival and in Rotterdam and won 15 awards in more than 30 festivals around the world and was sold to many countries. In Quebec it was nominated for best picture by the Jutra’s jury. In 2015, her feature film The Wolves opened Les Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois and her documentary The Profil Amina was selected at the Sundance Film Festival.
