Nicolas Paquet

In 2011, inde­pen­dent film­mak­er Nico­las Paquet direct­ed his first fea­ture-length doc­u­men­tary La règle d’or. This was fol­lowed by the fea­ture Ceux comme la terre and the short Les sucriers, pre­sent­ed at numer­ous fes­ti­vals in Cana­da and abroad. In 2017, he launched Esprit de can­tine, select­ed for the Ren­con­tres inter­na­tionales du doc­u­men­taire. The film was shot in his home vil­lage of Saint-Alexan­dre de Kamouras­ka. His most recent film, Chef.fe.s de brousse, reveals the strug­gle of three chefs who pro­pose a cui­sine with a local identity.
