2023 Gémeaux Award Winners
The CCE would like to express their support of WGA and SAG-AFTRA as they strike in pursuit of fair contracts from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Writers and performers deserve to share in the success of the work they do for major Hollywood studios and billion dollar streaming corporations. They should not fear that through AI, their work will be repurposed in the future without consent or proper compensation.
In line with our mission to represent and meet the needs of our post-production community, the CCE supports efforts of all film and television workers to lead successful careers through fair engagement. The entire business model has been changed by streaming, internet distribution, AI, and so must the compensation to those who are the core of our screen-based stories.
We stand in solidarity with WGA and SAG-AFTRA members.

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.
