"Solid, scholarly and informative." -- The TorontoStar -- Jean Pierre Lefebvre is as innovative a filmmaker in his ownculture as Jean-Luc Godard is in his. From the '60s to the '80s, his films confirmedthe sense of an emerging national cinema in Quebec and were much celebrated atinternational film festivals. Lefebvre's Il ne faut pas mourir pour a (1966) wasthe first Canadian film ever shown at Cannes; Les Derni res Fian ailles (1973) wonthe top European Catholic Prize in 1974; and Les Fleurs sauvages (1982) received theInternational Critics' Prize at the Cannes film festival in 1983. More recently, Lefebvre has explored the creative potential of video as a visual medium. In JeanPierre Lefebvre: Vid aste, Peter Harcourt provides an overview of Lefebvre's filmsand an incisive consideration of his five-part video project L'Age des images(1993--95).
