Robert Morin
Robert Morin is a Quebec director, screenwriter, actor and cinematographer. In 1977, with friends, he founded the Coop Vidéo. Morin made his mark in 1992 with his crime film Requiem for a Handsome Bastard. He was able to count on the talent of committed actors such as Gildor Roy and Brigitte Paquette to take on his uncompromisingly experimental narrative approach. It is one of the most celebrated films of his filmography. He is also one of the founders of PRIM vidéo, conceived as a center for access to filming equipment at first, following the dissolution of the Montreal artist center Véhicule Art.
