Lauzon, Jean-Claude |
Date of birth
29 September 1953, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Date of death
10 August 1997, Kuujjuaq, Québec, Canada
Jean-Claude Lauzon (September 29, 1953 - August 10, 1997 )
Jean-Claude Lauzon, born in Montréal, Québec, Canada (September 29, 1953– August 10, 1997) was a Canadian filmmaker.
Born to a humble family, Lauzon worked a variety of odd jobs after dropping out of high school.
He went on to study film at the Université du Québec à Montréal at the behest of Andre Petrowski, a member of the National Film Board of Canada.
His two feature length films, Un zoo la nuit , and Leolo, established him as one of the most important Canadian directors of his time.
He was preparing his third film when he died, along with his girlfriend, Canadian actress Marie-Soleil Tougas, in a plane crash.
Jean-Claude Lauzon died when a small plane he was piloting crashed when he was returning from a remote fishing trip in the Québec north with his girlfriend, actor Marie-Soleil Tougas.
According to police reports, the director's Cessna crashed in the midst of a wind and rain squall about 160 kms southwest of the Inuit village of Kuujjuaq.
Lauzon was a licensed pilot with hundreds of hours of flying experience. His Cessna went down and burst into flames, according to witnesses in another plane.
His Movie Léolo (1992) was nominated in Cannes for the Golden Palm Award, and is listed as one of the 100 Best movies of all time by Time Magazine.
