Maxime Faure
Maxime Faure was born in France in 1989. He studied cinema in Rennes and then in Montreal. It was there, during the 2012 student strike, that he grabbed a camera and a microphone to tell the daily life of a feminist collective during the Maple Spring (Tricot, rêve & révolte!). Following this experience, he crossed paths with Zola, a young anarchist street artist. From this encounter, the short film Masquée (2014) was born. Inhabited by a deep desire to film reality, Maxime focuses on showing women in their daily struggles. His gaze is more assertive in the intersection of the intimate and the political with Intranquille (2016), a portrait of a young Ukrainian woman. The same year, he signed a sound documentary for France Culture: À ne pas croire. It was while traveling through Quebec that he had a chance encounter with the Auxiliary Sisters. Women of conviction, humble and free, who inspired him. This led to Ainsi soient-elles (2019), his first feature documentary.
