CINÉMAGINAIRE

Winner of an Academy Award for Denys Arcand's Barbarian Invasions, Cinémaginaire is the dynamic production venture created by the fusion of two complementary talents – those of Denise Robert and Daniel Louis. Since its foundation in 1988, Cinémaginaire has notched up more than thirty successful movies, many of which have won numerous awards on the international stage. These include an Oscar, three French Césars and a David di Donatello from Italy. Cinémaginaire's latest production, Fathers and Guns by Emile Gaudreault, has broken all Canadian box office records and become the first French Canadian film to break through and hit number one in the national ratings.

DANIEL LOUIS

"Finding practical solutions to artistic challenges is what I like about producing. It’s the synthesis of both creation and business."

Daniel Louis is fascinated by human nature and stimulated by originality and artistic creation. An Oscar and Emmy Award winner, he has more than thirty-four years' experience in cinema and has collaborated in over sixty productions. Honoured by the French government, Daniel is a “Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” and also a member of BAFTA. In 1988, he and Denise Robert founded the film production company Cinémaginaire.  To date, it has more than thirty productions to its name.

"What interests me most is the marriage between the creative ambitions of a film and its efficient management."

LOUISE GENDRON

Before joining Cinémaginaire, Louise Gendron was head of programs at Télé-Québec. She has been a film and TV producer for more than 20 years. Louise has produced many successful primetime TV series such as, Réseaux, Scoop, Shehaweh and Les Intrépides. She has worked on international co-productions, including the full-length features Being at Home With Claude and The Education of Little Tree, and documentaries such as, La peau et les os.
