Biography
Pierre Patry began his career in the theatre as an actor and a playwright and is a founding member of the Canadian Association of Amateur Theatre. He joined the NFB in 1957 as a writer on the Panoramique series. Patry was a major force in the beginning of the Quebec feature-film industry in the sixties. He directed three features, most notably Trouble fête (1964). He left the NFB in 1963 to co-found the film cooperative Coopératio. Unfortunately, the company shut down after five years because of systemic problems in the financing and distribution of feature films. Despite only working for a decade in the film industry he has left behind an outstanding body of work.
In 1981 he was a major player in the development of the French language educational television station Canal Savoir.
