About: As the boundaries between the living and the dead blur, Irène’s denial navigates through the five stages of grief, ultimately confronting her profound anguish and sorrow.


Director Kate Maveau

Kate Maveau (34, She/Her) is an audiovisual artist with a master's degree in film from RITCS, Brussels, and Newport Film School, UK. Her exploration of human behavioral patterns led to the creation of her short film "SHIMI", featured at international festivals such as Independent Days, Fiaticorti, and Clermont-Ferrand Int'l Short Film Festival. Additionally, "SHIMI" was included in ‘New Queer Visions - Lust in Translation’; a selection of international lesbian short films available on the BFI player, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Kate also produced the Belgian/UK short film “AMIAS”, which won at the 65th Montecatini Short Film Festival and Short@Fringe. Her current award-winning short film "It Burns" won the Lovers Film Festival, was nominated at the Sunscreen Film Festival, and was selected at the Richmond International Film Festival and Rio LGBTQIA+ Film Festival.
