Olivier Asselin is a Canadian film director and screenwriter from Quebec. [1] He is most noted for his films The Moving Statue (La Liberté d'une statue), which was the winner of the Prix L.-E.-Ouimet-Molson from the Association québécoise des critiques de cinéma in 1991, [2] and The Cyclotron (Le Cyclotron), for which he won the Borsos Competition Award for Best Screenplay at the 2016 Whistler Film Festival. [3]
He is a professor of art and film history at the Université de Montréal. [4] His filmmaking style is marked by the exploration of philosophical and scientific themes, presented in a highly stylized manner that pays tribute to the aesthetic of older periods in film history, [5] and has been compared to the styles of Guy Maddin and early Lars von Trier. [6]
He is married to Lucille Fluet, who has appeared as an actress in all of his films and was a co-writer of several of them. [4]
