Léna Mill-Reuillard works with images, whether photographic, videographic or cinematographic. She holds a bachelor’s degree in cinema and a master’s in visual and media arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her practice is twofold: she has been working as a director of photography for the past ten years, and as a visual artist. Several of the films she has collaborated on as director of photography have travelled to numerous festivals around the world and won several awards – Geneviève Albert’s Noémie dit oui (Angoulême 2022), Katherine Jerkovic’s Le Coyote (Best Film – Whistler and Santa Barbara 2022); Une Colonie by Geneviève Dulude-De Celles (Crystal Bear – Berlin 2019 and Best Feature – FCVQ and FICFA 2018), Mes nuits feront écho by Sophie Goyette (Bright Futur Award – Rotterdam 2017), Pré-Drink by Marc-Antoine Lemire (Best Short – TIFF 2017 and IRIS 2018), La coupe by Geneviève Dulude-De Celles (Best International Short – Sundance 2014).
Isabelle has several feature-length fiction and documentary films to her credit. Her work on Miryam Charles’ “This House” and Matthew Rankin’s “A Universal Language” has won her critical acclaim and numerous festival awards. Her main focus is on projects that play with form and master the art of working with film. Alongside her career as a cinematographer, Isabelle is a multidisciplinary artist who also dabbles in video art and photography.
Geneviève graduated from UQAM in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in communication and cinema, and has since worked as a director of photography on both fiction and documentary films, two areas she enjoys working on in parallel, as one feeds the other. Her credits include the films Camion, L’ange-gardien and De père en flic 2, the TV series Les Simones, the first two seasons of Beaux malaises and the documentary series Qui êtes-vous and Le théâtre des opérations, for which she won the Gémeaux for best documentary cinematography in 2015. Geneviève is one of the first two Quebec women to be inducted into the prestigious Canadian Society of Cinematographers (CSC).
