August 2023

Félix Lamarche is a Montreal-based independent filmmaker exploring the possibilities of the documentary praxis. "Far Away Lands", his first feature, was released in 2017 and won the Pierre and Yolande Perrault award the same year for best first documentary feature. Since then, he directed and produced a string of short films which were screened at film festivals in Canada and abroad. In 2021, he participated in an intensive 11 days international workshop with filmmaker Werner Herzog, which led to the completion of a short fiction film. "A Night Song", his most recent documentary, had its world premiere at Dok Leipzig in Germany in October 2022. His work deals with relationships between humans and the landscape through an exploration of subjective visions, as well as the many strange facets reality can take. He is interested in both traditional and experimental film language and is currently working on his second documentary feature.
