'Richelieu' director Pier-Philippe Chevigny on social justice through film

Vancouver International Film Festival Season 2 Episode 6

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.
