Originally from Quebec, Christian first studied cinema before becoming a director of photography in Montreal. Then he turns to directing, which allows him to deal with the question of the relationship of people to the territory. Driven by a real desire to establish a relationship of trust upstream of the camera, he invests in the human relationship with his characters and their truth. His films have been selected in numerous festivals and have earned him several distinctions in Quebec and abroad. In addition to directing and producing documentaries, Christian sits on various juries and teaches documentary cinema and photo direction.
