Karl Lemieux

Karl Lemieux is a filmmaker, whose work is inspired by the dialogue that occurs between film, music and sound art.  At the heart of his practice, also including narrative filmmaking, the importance of the cinematographic apparatus and the attachment to celluloid are essential.

He is known for his collaboration with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, a Montreal music collective for which he as done over 400 live 16mm film projections performances since 2010. He is also the co-founder of the Double Negative, a Montreal-based collective, dedicated to the production and dissemination of experimental films. His first feature film, Maudite Poutine (Shambles), premiered in the Orizzonti competition of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival organized by the Venice Biennale.
