Jean-Claude Lord
Jean-Claude Lord, born on June 6, 1943, in Montreal and died on January 15, 2022, was a Quebec director, screenwriter, editor, and producer. Before becoming a prominent director, he made a name for himself primarily as a television commentator from 1969 to 1972, notably on CFTM-TV’s Bon Dimanche (Télé-métropole). He founded his production company, Jean-Claude Lord Inc., in 1971. His early screenplays addressed controversial aspects of Quebec society. Bingo (1974) explores the political activism of young Quebecers and police corruption. Parlez-nous d’amour (1976), based on a screenplay by Michel Tremblay, is a scathing critique of populist television. Starting with Terreur à l’hôpital central, Jean-Claude Lord primarily produced formulaic works, with the exception of La Grenouille et la Baleine*(1987), one of producer Rock Demers’ Contes pour tous. On November 1, 2017, he received the Guy-Mauffette Award, one of the 14 Prix du Québec.
