Sophie Bissonnette height - How tall is Sophie Bissonnette?

Sophie Bissonnette is a French-Canadian director, editor, writer, and producer in the Quebecois film industry. After graduating from Queen's University, she began creating films in Montreal. She released most of her documentary films in the 1980s. In these films, Bissonnette illustrated social and political justices, both of which were topics that were covered commonly by many Quebecois filmmakers. However, her films were distinguishable through exploring the women's perspective of male-dominated social engagements and incidents in French Canada.

When Bissonnette moved to Montreal in 1978, she began her career as a researcher, producer, writer, teacher, and director. In the 1980s, many Quebecois filmmakers were interested in covering social and political engagements, since this topic lacked proper attention in the past. Therefore, Bissonnette wrote, directed, and produced various documentaries and short films about this theme. What distinguished her work from covering male-oriented issues is revealing the women's side of the story. She conveyed the perspectives and struggles of the female gender behind the scenes of these social and political injustices. Bissonnette co-produced her first documentary film, Une Histoire de Femmes, in 1980. This film illustrated the marital and social struggles of the wives of miners on a strike against the International Nickel Company of Ontario (INCO), now known as Vale Limited. The film showed the wives' conflicts with their husbands, as well as their struggle against the company's powers that were enforced over their daily lives. In an interview, Bissonnette said that she was involved in the feminist and the labor movement when she made this film. She also said that she wanted to shed the light on women of the working force and the housewives.

Sophie Bissonnette was born on September 18, 1956, in Montreal, Quebec. She was originally raised in Ottawa. She majored in film and sociology at Queen's University, Kingston. She graduated with a bachelor of arts in 1978. After receiving her degree Bissonnette moved and settled back to her birthplace, Montreal, in which she co-directed her first documentary film in 1980.
