edit

Marquise Lepage (born September 6, 1959 in Chénéville, Quebec)[1], is a Canadian (Québécoise) producer, screenwriter, and film director (...) for which she received a nomination for Best Director at the 9th Genie Awards in 1988.

(...)

Lepage presided Quebec's film directors association, the ARRQ, and Réalisatrices Équitables, a militant organization advocating equality between female and male filmmakers. She created her own production company Les Productions du Cerf-Volant Inc. in 2008.

Early life and education

edit

Born in 1959, Marquise Lepage was the seventh child of a family of nine. [2] The first film she saw as a kid is Disney’s Bambi.[2] She studied social sciences at Cégep de Saint-Jérôme. She had no family members who worked in the film business and had only basic knowledge of cinema when she decided to pursue her post-secondary studies in communications at UQÀM. She then completed a Masters in Film Studies at Université de Montréal. [3][4]

Personal life

edit

Marquise has been living in the Montreal neighborhood of Villeray for more than 20 years. In 2015, in order to finance the post-production of her latest feature film Ce qu’il ne faut pas dire (One Night Stand: A Modern Love Story), she decided to sell the house were she raised her children.[5] Lepage has two kids, twins Alice and Jérémie, who were born in 1995. She named her daughter after Alice Guy-Blaché, about whom she made the documentary The Lost Garden (Le Jardin oublié) in 1995.[6] 

Career

edit

Marquise Lepage’s career began around 1983, when she became an associate for the production company les Productions du Lundi matin[7], which had notable Quebec film producer Marcel Simard at its head. Simard was the first to give Lepage her chance and she directed her first feature film Marie s’en va-t-en ville with his help.[8] She stayed with the company until 1991[7]. 

Following that, she was hired by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), where she worked until 1994[7]. There, she directed Dans ton pays, a short film about two elementary school classmates from different racial groups who become friends.[9] She also directed her second feature film at that time, a children’s movie titled La fête des rois, starring a young Marc-André Grondin.[10]

Lepage was President of the Association des réalisateurs et réalisatrices du Québec (ARRQ) in 1990 and 1991.[11]

From 2007 to 2012, she was President of Réalisatrices Équitables,[12] “"a non-profit organization founded in 2007. Its members are Québec female professional film directors"[13] which she initiated with a few other québécoises filmmakers.
