Œuvre dans le domaine de la vidéo et du multimédia depuis le début des années 80, il collabore à des bandes vidéos, installations, performances, trames visuelles pour multimédia, danse, musique contemporaine… avec Geneviève Cadieux, Nathalie Derome, Istvan Kantor, Michel Lemieux, Pauline Vaillancourt, Jean-Pierre Perrault… Parallèlement et, de plus en plus exclusivement, il se passionne pour le montage de documentaire. Il collabore, entre autres, avec Paule Baillargeon, Michka Saäl, Céline Baril. Luc Bourdon, Magnus Isacson, Martin Duckworth… incursion en fiction avec Robert Morin.
Toujours fasciné par le processus d’écriture-composition propre au montage ainsi que par la proximité, la profondeur de la rencontre qu’il provoque avec l’auteur et cette œuvre qui prend vie. Il considère et approche le cinéma, le multimédia comme des médiums sensoriels. Le désir de toucher en sculptant du temps, de la lumière, des sons, de la forme, du sens… Il y a encore beaucoup de plaisir à tout ça, on n’a pas tout vu et entendu.

David B. Thompson, CCE began his career in the 1980s as an editor on classic Canadian programming such as THE LITTLEST HOBO and NIGHT HEAT. Over the years, his work spanned all genres, from action/comedy (DUE SOUTH) to science fiction (LEXX, DARK MATTER), and period dramas (THE KENNEDYS). A stalwart presence in the industry for over 50 years, David left a body of work that is almost as big as his heart.
A fantastic editor, mentor, storyteller, jokester, and a great friend to so many, David was part of the first group of inductees to receive the CCE initials in 2008. He won an award at the inaugural CCE Awards in 2011, and over the course of his career garnered 5 Gemini nominations, two 2 DGC and CCE Award nominations, as well as an Emmy nomination for the pilot episode of “24”.
David always said “Cut with your gut, use your feelings to tell the story.”
