François Aubry
began his career as an Indie film animator. Using the technique of drawing directly on film stock, he made several shorts, including Cadence (1978) and Les Experiences Sonores de Buster Keaton (1981), which combined animation and live action. For the National Film Board of Canada, he subsequently made the shorts Concerto Grosso Mondo (1985) and Nocturnes (1988), which featured a variety of special effects. In 1991, he completed the short L’Empire des lumieres, an ambitious film inspired by paintings of George Seurat. His expertise in creating special effects led him to work with other filmmakers, including Denys Arcand (Jesus of Montreal, 1989) and Robert Lepage (Polygraph, 1996). He is currently involved in several film projects as director, cinematographer and editor for Features and documentaries, as well as teaching film as a full time professor at the College of Old Montreal. The Dark Room is his first feature as a writer and director.
