A native of Montreal, Marie-Geneviève Chabot has worked as an artist and filmmaker for the past 15 years. Following her studies in arts and cinema at UQÀM, she has wracked up an impressive list of experiences in the cultural field, including working as a videographer (Télé sans frontières, Parole citoyenne), as an instructor (Wapikoni mobile) and behind the scenes on various theatre productions (Les Deux mondes, La Maison théâtre).
Since making Bonne chance (ONF, 2005), her first feature-length film which was shot in Africa, she has directed several award-wining documentaries, including Le peuple de bronze, which won the Young Talent award at the Vues d’Afrique festival, and Le bout du monde, winner of the PVP Group award at the Percéides festival. Inspired by her years in Northern Quebec, her critically acclaimed film, En attendant le printemps (InformAction, 2013), won the Jutra for best feature-length documentary.
