Association coopérative de productions audio-visuelles

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

The Association coopérative de productions audio-visuelles (ACPAV) is a Canadian film cooperative, which serves as a production company for films by emerging film directors from Quebec. Established in 1971 in Montreal, the organization has played a central role in the development of the Cinema of Quebec, by producing and releasing early-career films by many of the province's most prominent and successful filmmakers.[1] Key producers associated with the cooperative have included Marc Daigle, Bernadette Payeur and René Gueissaz.[2]

Québec Cinéma named the organization as the winner of its Prix Iris Tribute Award at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards in 2021, to honour its 50th anniversary.[3] This marked the first time in the history of that category that it was presented to an organization rather than an individual.
