Jeanne Crépeau
Jeanne Crépeau (born 1961 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian film director and screenwriter from Montreal, Quebec,[1] best known for her film Julie and Me (Revoir Julie).[2]
Trained at the
Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival, where it won awards for Best Experimental Film, Best Director and Best Musical Score.[5] In 1991, she collaborated with the dance troupe Brouhaha Danse on Claire, a video and performance tribute to dancer Claire Samson following her murder in 1990.[6]
She had initially planned to make her debut feature film about an Olympic swimmer, but had difficulty securing funding; after visiting a friend in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, she rewrote the film's script and rented her friend's house for two months to serve as the film's set.[2] Revoir Julie was released in 1998, and won the Audience Award at the Paris Lesbian Film Festival in 1999.[7]
