Fernand Dansereau, C.M.
Montréal, Quebec

Fernand Dansereau is one of the fathers of Quebec film. His National Film Board productions, on both the small and large screens, challenge us to think. With a keen sense of the working classes and in search of hope in all things, including with his most recent trilogy on aging, he takes an intimate look at contemporary realities. He has moved loyal viewers with such television series as “Le parc des braves” and the adaptation of Les filles de Caleb. Founder of INIS, a professional multimedia training centre in Montréal, he continues to inspire the next generation today.
