Tally Abecassis graduated from Concordia university, Montreal, in 1996 with a specialization in Communications Studies. Her first documentary, Warshaw on the Main, a slice-of-life documentary about a group of colourful cashiers working at the landmark Montreal supermarket, played numerous times on CBC-Newsworld, CBC, CFCF-12, and Télé-Québec. In 2005, she completed her second documentary, Lifelike, on the weird and wonderful world of taxidermy. In parallel, Tally continues to work on Think Big, a documentary in which she is filming three small Montreal mom-and-pop stores over a period of four years. She has also published a book about Montreal barbershops with photographer Claudine Sauvé. In addition to her film work, Tally has produced several radio documentaries, primarily for CBC. Her most recent radio piece was produced for the "service documentaire" at Radio-Canada and is a unique 42-minute documentary portrait of children in shared custody. For the past four years, Tally has also been part of the programming committee of the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal. |
