Dissemination

Perreault Dancer, directed by Tim Southam (screenplay by Andrée Martin, produced by Les Films de l’Isle, Ian Boyd, 2005), is a poignant love letter to Jean-Pierre Perreault. A diverse family of dancers enact the choreographer’s artistic legacy, bringing his memory to life through words, movement, and images.

Perreault Dancer was released to widespread public and critical acclaim. Aline Apostolska of La Presse described it as, “A major film… superb, true and moving… Perreault’s absence is sudden, immense, like a void in the gut.”

Espace Perreault collaborated with the BAnQ on December 3, 2013 and with the Cinémathèque québécoise on May 6, 2022.
