Nicolas Paquet

In 2011, Nicolas Paquet directs his first documentary feature film La règle d’or. It is followed by the feature films Ceux comme la terre and Esprit de cantine, as well as the short film Les sucriers, which were shown in various festivals in Canada and foreign countries. In his creations, Nicolas Paquet expresses through images his thoughts and questions about the community, the countryside, loss and injustice.

He is cofounder of franC doc, a production house rooted in Saint-Alexandre de Kamouraska, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.
