Director of some 40 films including two feature films (The Human Plant, 1996, Bazin's film, 2017), Pierre Hébert worked at the NFB from 1965 to 1999. He has since been a multidisciplinary artist independent (cinema, performance, installation and drawing). Since 2010, he continues his project Places and Monuments, intermingling animation and documentary.An intimate conversation between Pierre Hébert and filmmaker Karl Lemieux will take place in order to deepen the reflection on the creative process of the Places and Monuments project. This discussion between master, student and audience will focus on the beginnings of the project, the notion of place in its approach and its style of “invisible” animation.3 films | 70 min
