Biography
Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette writes and directs films rooted in intimate observation. Born February 8, 1979, in Canada, she grew up in a creative household: her mother Manon Barbeau was a filmmaker, her father Philippe Lavalette a cinematographer, and her grandmother Suzanne Meloche a visual artist. She began on screen as a child, appearing in the series Le Club des 100 Watts and À nous deux!.
In her twenties, Barbeau-Lavalette turned to documentary, directing Les Petits princes des bidonvilles (2000), Buenos Aires, no llores (2001), and Si j'avais un chapeau (2005). Her first feature film, The Ring, premiered in 2007. The same year she began writing: her debut novel Je voudrais qu'on m'efface (Neighbourhood Watch) appeared in 2010, revisiting characters from the film. Her second novel, La femme qui fuit (Suzanne, 2015), drawn from her grandmother's life, was short-listed for the 2016 Governor General's Award for French-language fiction and became a bestseller. Internationally, she is best known for Inch'Allah (2012), an award-winning film. As a screenwriter, she works across documentary, fiction, and literature, all marked by what critics identify as an organic, participatory aesthetic. Born under Aquarius [birth], her life-path number 9 [birth] suggests a cyclical artist: one who mines family history and transforms personal witness into universal story.
