Peut-on savoir qu’un film est exceptionnellement beau sans l’avoir vu ? Dans ce cas, oui, parce que des amis auxquels je fais confiance l’ont vu. Et je connais le talent des cinéastes qui l’ont fait. Luc Bourdon l’a réalisé, Michel Giroux l’a monté - et le monteur est ici ( comme toujours, mais plus encore…) [...]

Radioactive uranium tailings at Elliot Lake.
One of my first films, released 18 years ago, was Uranium, about the radioactive wastes from uranium mining on aboriginal lands in Canada. Not a very exciting title, and there was a reason for it. Faced with intense pressure from the uranium mining industry, the NFB sent a letter to [...]

From The Diamond Road
Can you be a documentary filmmaker in the present tough context and still have a life I do my best to have time for family and friends, and to get out in the bush or on a river somewhere regularly. This past weekend I was out paddling with another documentary producer/director, my [...]
