SOLD OUT
To close our 40th anniversary year, we are honored to welcome Xavier Dolan and André Turpin for a master class on the relationship between a DOP and a director!
This event is part of the Meeting series, a series of meetings on various current issues and themes in independent cinema. This year, we’ve chosen the theme of “Les métiers du cinéma” to focus on various artistic professions that are all too often in the shadows.
Meeting #2 : The DOP / Director relationship
André Turpin and Xavier Dolan have collaborated on numerous projects over the past 10 years. From Tom à la ferme to the recent series La nuit où Laurier Gaudreault s’est réveillé and Mommy, this duo has accumulated cinematographic successes on various levels, especially internationally. Find out how this particular relationship is articulated? More generally, how do you define the artistic and human relationship between a DOP and a director? How is a common vision built, nourished by the artistic sensitivity of each?
Don’t miss this exclusive master class!
