Sylvain Archambault Director Sylvain Archambault s journey in the film industry began in 1986. Fresh out of Concordia University with a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in cinematographic production, he created Wolfpack Productions, through which he produced many documentaries, feature films as well as music videos for well known Quebec artists such as Marjo, Paul Piché and The Box. It was by accident that he found himself in the advertising world. He began as an executive producer producing over a thousand advertising films, then continued on as a director, directing more than 200 ads throughout the world (South Africa, Mexico, France, the United States, etc) including national ad campaigns, notably for the Olympic Games. He was awarded multiple international prizes such as the Coq d Argent and the Coq de Bronze from the Montreal Publicity Club and was twice a finalist at the London Advertizing Film Awards. He made the move from directing advertizing films to directing feature films and television shows in 2004, beginning with Le Négociateur I & II (2004, TVA), le 7e Round (2006, SRC), Bob Gratton II & III (2007/2008, TQS) and Les Lavigueur, la Vraie Histoire (2007, SRC), for which he won the 2008 Gémeaux Award for best directing in a dramatic series. Pour Toujours Les Canadiens, his first feature length film, produced by Cité- Amérique, hit theaters in December of 2009 and was followed by 2010 s Piché: Entre Ciel et Terre, produced by Pixcom, which won the Golden Reel award at the 2011 Jutra Awards. He is also the director of the feature film, French Kiss (Cité-Amérique, 2011) and Rouge Brésil (2012), the screen adaptation of Jean-Christophe Rufin s novel and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Joaquim de Almeida.
