A graduate in journalism from the University of Quebec at Montreal, Geneviève Brault is a director-screenwriter with a keen interest in social problems. Her experience as director and researcher for television allowed her to explore relevant issues like Canadian cultural diversity, the feminine condition and indigenous realities.
Her short film Portrait de bohèmes was included in the running for the Caméra Verte prize at the Montreal International Documentary Festival (known by its French acronym RIDM) in 2008. She directed a few reports for the show Culture Choc/Shock, which aired on RDI, Radio-Canada, CBC Newsworld and TV5. Her television report Lama Santen won her the Prix Galaxie from the Association of Cable Distributors in 2001. While working on her first feature movie, Tibet : Land of the Brave, Geneviève is also directing 14 half-hour documentaries about different social issues for the series 109 (RDI/Radio-Canada).
