Joël Vaudreuil

A resolutely independent multidisciplinary artist, Joël Vaudreuil lives and works in Montreal. ADAM CHANGE LENTEMENT (ParceQue Films, Grand prize Ottawa International Animation Festival, Niigata International Animation Film Festival 2023) is his first animated feature. As well as directing a number of music videos, he has also made several animated shorts, including LA VIE MAGNIFIQUE SOUS L’EAU (2015), LE COURANT FAIBLE DE LA RIVIÈRE (Jutra award, 2013), L’ENFANT AUX 6 HOT-DOGS (2011), UN VORTEX DANS FACE (Jutra nominee, 2010) and LA RÉCRÉATION DU MIDI (2009). His distinctive graphic style has earned him many accolades, including a retrospective at the Cinémathèque Québécoise in 2017 and an other one at Carrousel international du film de Rimouski in 2021. Joël Vaudreuil is an illustrator whose drawings are full of wit and sometimes robust humour. He is also a video editor and musician, member of the bands Avec pas d’casque, Moussette, Le Diable (comme l’outil) and Cheval Fou.
