Robert Morin : cinéaste et photographe
Filmmaker Robert Morin has also been making photographs since the 1970s. Here they are gathered, projected and hung, showing the evolution of his approaches, from humanistic photography in his early days to current experiments, marked by the uninterrupted flow of images. As a counterpoint, an installation version of his most recent film, 7 paysages, whose sharpness of observation constitutes a timely extension of the previous set.
The opening will take place on June 8 at 6 pm.
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.
