Sonate Tableaux: Mouvement 4

Carlos Ferrand was born in Lima, Peru. From Lima to Brussels, Paris and Vermont, he spent several years studying and wandering about but with film always at the core of his interests. For the past 40 years, he has worked in Canada as a screenwriter and director and has collaborated as director of photography on over fifty films, both fiction and documentary, including his latest feature documentary ​“Jongué, A Nomad’s Journey,” ​“13, A Ludodrama about Walter Benjamin,” which made its international premiere at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, and ​“Americano,” a road movie from Patagonia to the Arctic visiting friends and taking the pulse of the Americas, which has been presented in 25 festivals and won several prizes and nominations.

His interests vary from social issues to spirituality and the poetics of entertainment. He directed the first film made in Peru about African slaves, ​“Cimarrones”; then for InformAction Films ​“Visionaries” (Best Cinematography and Best Overall Sound at Hot Docs), and ​“The Magic Touch” about Dominique Lemieux, costume designer for Le Cirque du Soleil, which won three Gémeaux Awards, including Best Cultural Documentary.
