Martine Asselin
A versatile creator, Martine Asselin has been making her mark in the wonderful world of independent cinema for over 20 years. She has written and directed numerous short films in fiction, docu-fiction, and animation, as well as a dozen medium and feature-length documentaries intended for theaters or television (Un homme sage-femme; Ceux qui sont là; Québec, lieu de passage; Symphonie Locass; Un toit, un droit, among others). Passionate about social justice and inclusion, she respectfully addresses sensitive realities. Since her beginnings, she has enjoyed hybridizing genres to push the boundaries of documentary form. This led her, in 2016, to incorporate immersive works and virtual reality into her practice. Labyrinthe atypique was a finalist for the NUMIX Award in 2019, while Les pieds en haut: Lou won a Canadian Screen Award in 2023, as well as the Community Artist Award from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the SIMA Immersive Impact Award, the Visioni VR Award, and the Japan Prize in 2024.
