About the Author

Background

Trained in screenwriting, Julia began by writing fiction. Very quickly, she realized that what truly drives her in cinema is the ability to observe the world through human stories rooted in reality. In 2019, she moved to Quebec to study Documentary Filmmaking Techniques at EMCV. In the summer of 2020, a serious event shook her family. It would later become the subject of her first feature film, Sisters.

Soeurs

At 22, while in India studying yoga, my little sister Elena was hospitalized in an emergency. She suffered a violent psychotic attack following her confinement by a man for several days. Even from miles away, I feel her mind shattering. I have to go get her. Let me take her home. The film delves into the heart of an intimate exploration of sisterhood, and documents the slow reconstruction of a young woman who is the victim of one of these stories that are still too numerous, before she is forgotten.
