Emmanuel Tardif
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Emmanuel Tardif (also known as Emmanuel Gendron-Tardif) is a Canadian film director and screenwriter from Quebec.[1] He is most noted for his 2022 film In Broad Daylight (Au grand jour), which premiered in the Proxima competition for emerging filmmakers at the 56th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.[2]
An alumnus of Concordia University,[1] Tardif made the short films Desire (2015), Miami (2016) and Sunrise (2016) before releasing his full-length debut film Speak Love in 2019.[3] He followed up in 2021 with Heirdoms (Soumissions).[4]
With Léa Roy and Marie-Élaine Bédard, Tardif formed the production company Les Rapailleurs.[1]
On January 26, 2023, Tardif was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his mother, Lysane Gendron,[5] who was found dead in a Fullum Street apartment in Montreal on January 25.[6] His arrest scuppered the planned commercial release of In Broad Daylight.[7]
