Boys my Age

Alexia Roc is a 28-year-old Quebec-Haitian screenwriter, director and artistic director based in Montreal. She particularly likes writing unique and real characters to illustrate different realities that we don't often see on screen. Her feminist activism and her Métis origins push her to speak out on subjects that are extremely dear and close to her. With a master's degree in film production at Concordia University, she is interested in different forms of feminist cinematic experiments as therapeutic means to redefine and understand experiences of abuse and trauma. She produced and directed her social web series Entre Parenthèses, which has been distributed by MAtv since 2021. The series features duos discussing sensitive contemporary topics, fostering dialogue on various social issues. Her latest short film Bergen, Norway won the Grand Prize at the Tourner à tout Prix Award at the 2023 Regard Festival, as well as two awards at the VUES Festival. It has continued its festival journey at events such as Fantasia, the Montréal Émergence Festival, Pleins écrans, and Mutoscope in Lyon. Her most recent film, Trois Vagins qui Crient, is still making the rounds at over fifteen festivals. She is currently in pre-production for her next hybrid documentary Dire au revoir à 5h12 and in post-production for her first funded feature film, Aux garçons de mon âge.
