Félix Rose

Félix Rose is a Quebec documentary filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter born in 1987 in Montreal. Passionate about history, he developed a political and social conscience at a young age. As a teenager, he fell in love with cinéma direct and the work of Pierre Perrault. After studying film and television, he got his start as an editor and screenwriter with the web series Temps mort (2010-2012). He then moved into directing with the documentary Avec la gauche (2014), which follows the election campaign team of a Québec solidaire candidate. In 2017, he co-directed the documentary Yes (with Eric Piccoli), in which a Quebec artist meets with Scots on the eve of their referendum on sovereignty. In 2020, he directed the documentary Les Rose, the culmination of a personal quest to better understand the past of his father, FLQ member Paul Rose, and his family. That same year, he co-directed a six-part investigative series, Le dernier felquiste (with Flavie Payette-Renouf and Eric Piccoli), on the unsolved murder of FLQ member François Mario Bachand and the history of the various networks of the Front de Libération du Québec. In 2024, he completed Québec Rock, a four-part series on the musical rivalry between two Quebec rock bands: Offenbach and Corbeau. His last feature, La bataille de Saint-Léonard (2024), is about a language crisis that led to the adoption of the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).  © Sacha Bourque
