Bloom
Through moments in the lives of three groups of girls, images gleaned from the web, and the live streams of young women around the globe, Bloom delves into the world of today's teenage girls. We delicately observe a hyper-connected but lonely generation inhabited by great lucidity, self-image obsession, and the need for self-affirmation in the face of a complex sense of alienation.
Canadian documentary filmmaker and editor Fanie Pelletier graduated in social sciences and filmmaking. Her short film, Faded Photograph (2016), a revelation about her father’s life story, has been screened and awarded at several festivals. Her documentary Bloom, which, like her previous films, addresses the issue of representation in the context of social structures, is her feature debut.
