She has directed several short fiction films, among them
the multi award-winning Les frissons d'Agathe (1989)
and Last Call (1988). Les rêves secrets des Tarahumaras

Best Research for Amérique 500, a documentary series
on which she supervised the shooting in ten different countries
of the Americas.
Ms.

Îles d’inspiration (1998-99), one dedicated to legendary
poet and singer-songwriter Félix Leclerc, the other to historian
and author Louis Caron.
Les
fantômes des trois Madeleine (The Three Madeleines)
was her first feature fiction film and had its world premiere
at the Directors' Fortnight of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.
Madeleine went on to be honored across North America,
Europe, and South America. It won the Grand Prix at the
Figueira da Foz International Film Festival in Portugal.
In
2004, Ms. Dionne directed the festival hit Mary Shelley,
a docudrama made for television, which was awarded the "Lanterna
Magica" Prize in the L'Encre à l'écran Festival, held in
Tours, France.
Her
next project Serveuses demandées is set for
production in Montreal in early 2007. The feature-length
drama is being produced by Kevin Tierney for Park Ex Pictures.
