'Richelieu' director Pier-Philippe Chevigny on social justice through film
In this episode we welcome Canadian filmmaker Pier-Philippe Chevigny, director of Richelieu in conversation with VIFF Director of Programming Curtis Woloschuk.
Drawing from neo-realist traditions, beautifully photographed and elegantly constructed, Richelieu paints an undeniable portrait of a crisis unfolding across North America. Director Pier-Philippe Chevigny avoids didacticism and delivers an assured, emotionally resonant first feature which announces the arrival of a new Canadian talent.
This conversation was recorded during the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival.
