Maxime Faure (30) grew up in France. After a childhood punctuated between the desire to take over the neighbor's farm and to making films, he left to study cinema in Rennes and then Montreal. It is there, seizing the opportunity of a student strike, that he makes his first short to tell the daily life of a feminist collective. KNIT, DREAM & REVOLT! (2012) was selected at the Festival international du film d'ethnographie du Québec.
In 2015, his documentary MASKED wins the Jury award at the festival Cinéma sous les étoiles. The following year, he leaves for Ukraine to direct his next film UNREST (2016), winner of the France Culture / Infracourts Award. Also, Maxime collaborates with Radio-France for his first sound documentary, À NE PAS CROIRE (2016), and direct a documentary series UNCEDED VOICES (2017), winner of the Audience Award at the Festival de films féministes de Montréal.
SISTERHOOD (2019), his first feature film, co-produced by Les films du balibari and Metafilms, will soon be released in Quebec theaters, after being broadcasted on France Télévisions and screened in several international festivals.
