Profile of the month : Alexandra Body

How I landed in ACP

I discovered ACP thanks to Annabelle Dreyfus (March profile), who is a childhood friend. We were neighbors in Montreal over 40 years ago.

What I do for a living

I worked for a long time for a company specializing in the production and distribution of documentary films for IMAX theaters and today I am the marketing and communications director for CinemaNext, a company dedicated to providing services to cinema exhibitors in more than 20 countries worldwide.

The trip that made the biggest impression on me ?

All trips have an impact on me, but my most recent, a trip to Iceland last summer, was breathtaking!

My favourite place in France or Canada

One of my favorite places in France is Corsica, a magnificent island where you can enjoy the sea as well as the mountains.
In Canada, my favorite place will always be Montreal, and specifically Mount Royal.

My passions and / or my hidden talent ?

I'm still searching for my hidden talent, but I trained at professional ballet schools - the National Ballet School in Toronto and then the Ecole supérieure de ballet du Québec in Montreal - for nearly 10 years. I'm passionate about all things cultural. 

What I learned in life

We all have our own stories but deep down, at the end of the day, we have more similarities than human differences.

My favourite bar-restaurant in France and Canada ?

My favorite restaurant in Canada is undoubtedly L'Express on rue Saint-Denis in Montreal.
In Paris, there are so many good places to eat, but I recently really enjoyed the restaurant La Plume, with its panoramic view of the city.

My favourite ACP activity?

All of them, but I particularly loved the inspiring evening on women's leadership at Canada's official residence earlier this year.
