Claudie Lévesque lives in Montreal and has been working in the media arts for over twenty years. She collaborates with several organizations and regularly sits on various film and video selection committees. In parallel, she pursues a career as a filmmaker. Her practice extends to experimental cinema and video art. Between 2005 and 2008, she took part in spontaneous creations (Montréal S8 and One Take S8) using her preferred film medium, Super 8. Here, she produced short films shot on location, including MAGIE BLANCHE (2005), starring her daughter. In the form of portraits or self-portraits, her works deal with intimate subjects involving herself or those close to her. She has made over a dozen short films, including an experimental documentary entitled MA FAMILLE EN 17 BOBINES (2011), which has been shown at numerous festivals (RIDM, Visions du Réel…). In 2020, she completes a master’s degree in experimental media at UQAM, winning the Prix Philippe-Ménard for best research-creation thesis. In winter 2022-2023, she presents an immersive audiovisual installation entitled RITOURNELLES at the Cinémathèque québécoise, followed by a live art performance. The Cinémathèque is also devoting a complete retrospective to her at the close of the event.
