Jean-Claude Lauzon

Jean-Claude Lauzon (1953-1997), who grew up in a poor district of Montreal, left school early and lived by odd jobs. He owed it to André Petrowski, then at the National Film Board, who had read one of his texts, that he went back to his studies, at the Université du Québec à Montréal. A director of commercials, he made two feature films in five years, in 1987 and in 1992, both shown at the Cannes Film Festival. An amateur pilot, he died in 1997 when his plane crashed near Kuujjuaq.
