Catherine Legault

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, Catherine Legault signe le montage de nombreux films documentaire et fiction présentés internationalement dans les festivals, au cinéma et à la télévision.

Diplômée de l’Université Concordia en Film Production, elle est récipiendaire d’un prix Iris pour le montage de « La démolition familiale », en 2017, ainsi que de deux Gémeaux pour « 21 jours », en 2017, et pour « Ma caravane au Québec », en 2013. En 2019, elle est de nouveau en nomination au gala Québec Cinéma pour le montage du film de Serge Giguère, « Les lettres de ma mère ». Ses collaborations incluent plusieurs films primés, parmi lesquels « PilgrIMAGE », de Peter Wintonick et Mira Burt-Wintonick, « Mort subite d’un homme-théâtre », de Jean-Claude Coulbois, « La démolition familiale », de Patrick Damien, « Rebels on Pointe », de Bobbi Jo Hart, « Les lettres de ma mère », de Serge Giguère, et plus récemment, « FANNY: The Right to Rock », de Bobbi Jo Hart. En 2019, Catherine réalise et monte son premier long-métrage documentaire « Sisters: Dream & Variations ».

Catherine valorise la place du montage dans le processus de création. Elle est habituée à travailler avec une grande quantité de matériel provenant de sources variées et l’intégration d’archives vient couramment enrichir sa construction narrative. Ses montages sont appréciés pour leur sensibilité et leur fluidité, leurs différents niveaux de lecture et leur habilité à naviguer à travers l’espace et la temporalité. L’art dans toutes ses formes, le voyage, la famille et la transmission intergénérationnelle sont des thèmes qui ont souvent accompagné Catherine dans sa pratique du montage.
