Alexa Tremblay-Francoeur is a visual artist and traditional 2D animator specializing in animated short films. Through this expressive medium, she blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality, moving between narrative shorts, docufictions, and poetic storytelling. Her films explore sensitive themes often tied to major human questions, social issues, or historical fragments. In 2016, her first film, Le passage, received the Emerging Regional Talent Award at the 20th edition of the REGARD. Since 2019, she has worked professionally in 2D animation and, that same year, took part in the project Dessins animés by La Bande Sonimage, which led to the film Affannato being selected at around twenty regional, national, and international festivals. Her most recent film, The Little Ancestor (2024), has received nearly 100 festival selections, earned nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards and the Gala Québec Cinéma, and won several awards.
