Hugo Latulippe has been active in documentary film and television since his participation in Radio-Canada's La Course destination monde in 1994-1995. In 1996, he was accepted as an artist-in-residence at the National Film Board of Canada's Culture and Experimentation Studio, where he learned his craft from direct cinema artists such as Serge Giguère, Pierre Perrault, and Michel Brault. In 2005, he founded the Esperamos company, whose television, web, and film projects, shot in Quebec and abroad, focus on "the major issues of our time". He produced films by Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, Simon Beaulieu, Sophie Deraspe, Émile Proulx-Cloutier, Francine Pelletier, Mathieu Roy, Pascal Sanchez, and Charles Gervais. His films have been selected for the most prestigious festivals and have won numerous awards. His best-known feature films include Bacon, The Film (2001), and What Remains of Us (2004). In 2012, he directed Alphée of the Stars about his own daughter, who suffers from a rare genetic disease. He was president of the Observatoire du documentaire (2014-2019) and teaches documentary film at INIS (Montreal) and at various colleges and universities. A committed activist on social, cultural, and ecological issues, he has made the village of Cacouna, in the Lower St. Lawrence, his new base of work. He has been appointed general director of the Quebec City Film Festival in 2023.
