Few years ago, critic & historian Charles Solomon interviewed me, along with several of fellow filmmakers, for a book about the National Film Board of Canada.

It’s finally out in bookstores!

(I still have to pinch myself to realize that my film is a modest part of this great cinematic story).

L’accès aux transports en commun est essentiel.
En ville Et en dehors des grands centres urbains.
La vitalité et le développement économique de chaque région dépendent d’une offre de transport collectif de qualité. Il est impératif de renforcer et développer la mobilité aux quatre coins du Québec. www.ledevoir.com/societe/tran...
Le manque de transport collectif freine les moins nantis
La «dépendance à l’auto», causée par l’insuffisance des transports en commun, entraîne des inégalités sociales.

"It is reasonable to think that Doyon intends to present an allegory about cinema itself. By animating the filmstrip, he emphasizes the medium not as a mere transparent container for the story, but as an active and living part of the narrative, with its own materiality, fragility, and identity."

Dizzy Cavalry è un cortometraggio d’animazione western di un minuto diretto dal regista canadese Patrick Doyon, presentato in anteprima italiana all’evento Archivio Aperto 2025 presso la Cineteca di B...

Day 4 of Archivio Aperto festival.
My film is presented in front of the feature film MUSEO DE LA NOCHE, which revisits the New York queer underground scene of the 1970s (I wish I could teleport myself to Bologna).

Sur ma bucket list des choses impossibles à imaginer, être présenté sur grand écran à la @cinemathequeqc.bsky.social avant un film de John Ford (mettant en vedette James Stewart et John Wayne) serait sans doute dans le top.

(C'est dimanche le 28 septembre à 16h00).

Connaissez-vous la blague?

Critterz voulait aller à Cannes.
Cannes s'est tassé.
Critterz s'est noyé dans la mer Méditerranée.
Tech investors are fast-tracking an AI-generated animated feature, 'Critterz,' for Cannes 2026. Sold as “democratizing” animation, it instead raises urgent questions about craft, labor, and storytelling driven by algorithms rather than inspiration.

OpenAI-Backed Animated Film ‘Critterz’ Aims For Cannes
OpenAI’s AI-backed 'Critterz' is sold as a test of ‘democratizing’ animation, a framing that feels disingenuous in today’s industry context.

"Make Wavelengths great again!"
In 2016, TIFF’s essential Wavelengths slate had 15 features, four shorts programs and five installations. This year, just eight features – fewer than Primetime, the section that previews TV series – three shorts programs and zero installations. #TIFF50 www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/ti...

"The problem isn’t one of access anymore, but of curation. Great films are harder to find because they’re being drowned out."
Don Hertzfeldt has curated 'Animation Mixtape,' an 85-minute anthology of animated shorts, which premieres at the IFC Center in New York today. We spoke with him about spotlighting standout work and why focused distribution matters for shorts.
