Director's Biography:

Simon Gaudreau’s movies are characterized by an embodied point of view, directed on unique characters. From these characters, generally evolving in micro-societies, emerge the social and political dimensions inherent to his cinema. His documentary film King of the East was selected at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in 2010. Gagnon, his first short fiction film, was presented at the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois in February 2014. His second feature documentary, Fucké, was presented to the FNC, FIFEQ, RVCQ and FCIAT in 2014-2015. Minority is his most recent film.
