Antoine Boulanger is a Quebec filmmaker whose work explores human fragility through stories shaped by emotion, memory, and a constant tension between realism and imagination. Self taught since adolescence, he later refined his approach at Concordia University, where he developed an intimate and sensory visual signature.
