Lefebvre) and La bouteille (A. Desrochers). Her performance in Post Mortem (L. Belanger) won her the Genie Award for Best Actress (2000). She also won the Gémeaux Award for her performance of Catherine in the series of the same name. She’s a star of the LNI and hosted the 2002, 2003 and 2004 editions of the Jutra gala. Sylvie Moreau won a Genie Award in January 2000 for Best Performance by an actress in a leading role for her work in Post Mortem, in which she co-starred with Gabriel Arcand. She also won a Gémeaux award for her work in the series, Catherine, which she wrote as well as starred as the title character. A graduate of the Université du Québec à Montréal, Sylvie also took extensive courses as a mime at the École de mime corporel de Montréal, under the direction of Jean Asselin and Denise Boulanger.

Overview: The movie chronicles the long, futuristic voyage of a team of Québécois space explorers looking for a planet capable of sustaining life, in the year 2034, after the destruction of the ozone layer through excessive human pollution, prompting the need for a new planet to welcome humankind. The seven crew members venture outside their own galaxy to explore other star system in search of a new planet large enough to sustain 6 billion people.
