The films of David Nadeau-Bernatchez

Fragments

Movies from the great names of documentary cinema, from its origins to more recent productions. An exploration of the variety of writings, styles and approaches, through the masterpieces of renowned filmmakers… or more obscure ones.

David Nadeau Bernatchez is an artist and researcher working at the intersection of film production, writing, and the performing arts. In 2013, he defended a PhD in history and anthropology on Congolese urban music and spaces. Today, he creates and works across Quebec, Europe, and French-speaking Africa. Particularly active in cinema and audiovisual fields (Red Devil, 2024; Rumba Rules, New Genealogies, 2020; Ludovica, 2018), he also writes, performs in various formats, and collaborates with a range of artists and collectives. The themes of rooting and uprooting are central to his work.

In the fall of 2024, he was selected as part of the cross-residency between the FCVQ and the Festival Vues du Québec in Florac (France) to develop the writing for his documentary project La persistance des choses.
