Aube Giroux


Aube was born in Montreal, Canada. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in Media Arts from NSCAD University in Halifax. Her most recent directing credit is a National Film Board of Canada (NFB) documentary entitled “Dis-moi ce que tu manges”. This film features organic family farmers and slow food advocates who propose a flavorful and delightful alternative to the agri-business model of mass-production which dominates current food production. Her first NFB film, "A Demain Chères Prunelles" is a short documentary which explores new artistic possibilities and consequences of digital imaging technologies. Both films were broadcasted on CBC and shown in Canadian festivals.
Aube’s enthusiasm for filmmaking emerged from her work with various NGOs and some of her projects were produced in close collaboration with these NGOs. With limited professional and financial resources, these projects demanded a fair dose of creative problem-solving skills. They include a one-hour film entitled "Beyond Pyramids" investigating the environmental and cultural impacts of the tourism industry in Egypt, a 20 minute film on children’s rights and participation in India, and a 20 minute video on youth volunteerism in Canada.
Aube spent the last 6 months in London working alongside Oscar-winning producer Margaret Matheson, at Bard Entertainments. She is currently doing an internship at Article Z in Paris where she is working with producer Patrice Barrat. Her main areas of interest at the moment are agriculture and trade, culture and globalization, and biodiversity.
