Biography

Edith is a Montreal filmmaker. After L'héritier, an internationally award-winning documentary, she turns to fiction with the short film TibbitsHill, an allegorical fable about music as an anti-militarist weapon. Awe is an opportunity for the director to play with the fine line that separates fiction from documentary.
