André Forcier
André Forcier (born Marc-André Forcier on July 19, 1947) is a Canadian film director and screenwriter. His work has been linked to Latin American magic realism by its use of fantasy but is firmly rooted in Quebec's reality. His unromanticized, even Rabelaisian, portraits of people on the fringe of society, especially in ''Bar Salon'', ''Au clair de la lune'', ''Une Historie inventée'', ''Le Vent du Wyoming'' and ''The Countess of Baton Rouge'', blend observations of minutia of everyday life with elements of fantasy and imaginary. He became interested in film while still at college, won a Radio-Canada contest with his first 8-mm film, and in 1966 financed and produced his first 16-mm film. His wife, Linda Pinet, has been co-producer and co-writer of many of his films. The two cofounded the independent film studio Les Films du Paria. Pinet was solely a producer, not a co-writer, of his 2024 film '' Ababooned (Ababouiné)'', although the couple's sons, François Pinet-Forcier ...
