Lysandre Leduc-Boudreau is a documentary filmmaker born in 1990 in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. She has worked as a director, content producer, and researcher on a variety of projects. Her work has always been driven by the belief that the cinematic medium can shape our thoughts, emotions, and attitudes toward the needs of our time. Her first feature documentary, Jacques, traces the life of one of the pioneers of northern expeditions in Quebec. The film had its premiere at the Tapis Bleu of the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois (RVQC) in 2023.
For over forty years, Jacques Duhoux, a pioneering explorer in northern Quebec, has lived alone in the Uapishka (Groulx) Mountains. Now 85 years old, he continues to live off the grid, despite the inevitable decline that comes with age. A tribute to a true monument of northern exploration, _Jacques_ reveals the delicate balance between nature, aging, and the search for freedom.
