LÉA POOL (Director)
Working in the film industry since 1978, Léa Pool has been involved in production, editing, screenwriting, and directing, in both fiction and documentary films as well as television. For Léa Pool, cinema is an art of passion, emotion, and sensitivity. The stories she tells are touching, sensual, and deeply passionate. Since her earliest films, she has made us reflect on gender identity, offering a precise, sharp perspective on characters at a crossroads, driven by existential quests. Her films are infused with exemplary narrative strength and a masterful command of visual storytelling. With a body of work spanning over twenty acclaimed feature films in Quebec—many of which have been awarded at festivals around the world—Léa Pool’s filmography reflects an original and unique cinematic approach. With a singular style and distinctive artistic voice, Léa Pool does more than just tell stories; with each film, she unveils a facet of the human soul in its most universal form. In Quebec, few filmmakers have a career as rich and dense as hers. Her unique sensitivity and exceptional talent make an invaluable contribution to Quebec cinema. Her previous feature film, HOTEL SILENCE, starring Sébastien Ricard and Lorena Handschin, adapted from the novel Ör by Icelandic author Audur Ava Ólafsdóttir, was released in Quebec in 2024 and won over both audiences and critics alike.
