Filmmaker
Marilou Caravecchia-Pelletier
Montreal-born, Marilou Caravecchia-Pelletier is a Quebec screenwriter and director whose works explore family dynamics with finesse and sensitivity. Alongside her work as a filmmaker, she has also built a strong career as a first assistant director (Falcon Lake - Charlotte Le Bon, Simo - Aziz Zoromba), a role that continuously shapes and refines her cinematic approach. Her first short film, Harevan, won the Best Screenplay award at UQAM and was screened at various festivals, including the prestigious Camerimage in Poland. In 2022, she explored the complex dynamics of mother-daughter relationships with her short film Rose blanche (Canadian Film Fest, Cinemania, Cinema on the Bayou, RVQC). Marilou is drawn to details, small things, fragile beginnings, first steps and sparks that precede explosion. Today, she releases her third short fiction film, a human, gentle, and sparkling work: Siren.
