The Prix Iris for Best Art Direction (
French: Prix Iris de la meilleure direction artistique) is an annual film award presented by
Québec Cinéma as part of the
Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best
art direction in the
Cinema of Quebec.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Art Direction in memory of influential Quebec film director
Claude Jutra.[1] Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma.[1] The
Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.[2]
André-Line Beauparlant received the most nominations, ten, while
François Séguin won four awards from four nominations, a rare perfect score. Normand Sarazin has won two awards in consecutive years, first in 2004 for The Barbarian Invasions (Les invasions barbares) and then in 2005 for Bittersweet Memories (Ma vie en cinémascope).
Eight art directors received two nominations in the same year: Stéphane Roy in 1999, Jean Morin in 2001,
