Chloé Sirois
Chloé Sirois writes, directs, produces, and works as a casting director on various film and television projects. Her work explores the mechanisms of trauma, female sexuality, and the sensitivity of human experience. In 2019, she presented Prends-moi, a documentary exploring the BDSM world in its authenticity, at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma (FNC). In 2020, she directed Morceau par morceau, a metaphorical story in which a carnivorous plant feeds on a child’s skin. The film was selected for several festivals, including the Fantasia International Film Festival and Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma (RVQC). At only 21, Chloé directed Pornomania (2024), distributed by Les Films du 3 Mars. With boldness and sensitivity, the film portrays a child’s trauma and fascination through her brutal discovery of pornography. It was screened at the OFF-Courts Trouville Festival (Normandy) and the Festival du Cinéma social (Nice). Chloé is currently developing two new short film projects: Crasse, an experimental plunge into the insalubrious territories of ill masculinity, and La tague, a story about consent, boundaries, and power dynamics through the play of a group of children.
