Director Biography - Frederic Lavoie

Frédéric Lavoie (1976, Montreal) holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology and a master's degree in visual and media arts. Through a heterogeneous practice that takes documentary or fictional elements as materials, he produces stories, group portraits or thematic analyses. His research revolves around issues related to listening and observation, nature/culture relationships and the Anthropocene; all in a critical and educational approach. His works, whether video installation or video art, have been presented in galleries, artist centers, museums and during video events. Among his main achievements are the feature film La Nature Contre-Attaque (125 min., 2019) as well as the mid-career retrospective exhibition Ré-écritures (2014) at the Musée régional de Rimouski.
