Jean-Marc Vallée on the set of the Alliance Fiilms 2009 release, Young Victoria. Vallée made his ground-breaking feature debut with Liste
Noire (Black List), in 1995. The strikingly stylish erotic thriller was a first for its genre in
Québec cinema, and was honored with nine Genie Award nominations. Ten years later,
he returned to French-language features with the internationally acclaimed hit, C.R.A.Z.Y. Blending a beguiling coming-of-age tale with a magical ode to outsiders of all ages, the
powerful yet poignant film's intensely personal story embraced universal themes and went on to become a phenomenon. It was distributed in over fifty countries and won some
twenty international festival awards, 11 Genie Awards, 15 Jutra Awards, and
the Golden Reel Award as Canada’s top-performer at the domestic box office. Vallée flirted with Hollywood when he made Strangers in 1996, and Los Locos in 1997, as well as
completing the first two installments of his short film trilogy devoted to father-son
relationships; a theme very close to the filmmaker’s heart. Les Fleurs magiques (1995) and Les Mots magiques (1998). Both shorts were awarded numerous festival prizes at home, and abroad.
