As part of a special focus on his body of work, filmmaker Louis Bélanger opens the door to his creative world during an intimate session with the audience. Throughout the discussion, he will reflect on his career path, the key encounters that have shaped his work, his relationship with characters, settings, and the creative process, and the elements that have fueled—for over twenty-five years—a cinema deeply rooted in the human experience. This is a rare opportunity to gain insight into his creative process before the screening of *Lauzon Lauzone*—his stirring tribute to filmmaker Jean-Claude Lauzon—which follows the masterclass.
This event is part of the Festival’s focus on Louis Bélanger, which also includes screenings of *Les mauvaises herbes* and his latest film, *125 rue des Malaises*.

Louis Bélanger is one of the few Quebec filmmakers who can lay claim to both auteur cinema and popular cinema. Firmly grounded in the human experience—inventive yet accessible, personal yet universal—his work creates rich, instantly familiar landscapes that delight cinephiles both at home and abroad.
