\nNew stamp recognizes Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe internationally acclaimed artist has been captivating and challenging audiences for more than 60 years<\/em><\/p>\n

MONTR\u00c9AL \u2013 Canada Post today issued a new stamp to honour internationally acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand, whose incredible career has spanned more than 60 \"\"<\/a>years. Known for his intellectual curiosity, the Quebec-born artist has written and directed over two dozen films, television shows and documentaries.<\/p>\n

Arcand first developed a passion for politics and history while studying at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, where he also co-wrote and co-directed his first film, Seul ou avec d’autres (1962). A year later, he joined the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) as a documentarian where he began cultivating his reputation for pushing boundaries. His first feature-length documentary On est au coton (1970) was about Quebec\u2019s textile industry \u2013 it was so controversial that the NFB waited six years before releasing it.<\/p>\n

As he moved into fiction, Arcand found more freedom to express his views and to challenge audiences, which would earn him critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In 1986, he experienced box-office success with Le d\u00e9clin de l’empire am\u00e9ricain. The biting comedy about sexual mores won several honours, including eight Genie Awards. It also became the first Canadian film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.<\/p>\n

Arcand would build on this success with hits that include J\u00e9sus de Montr\u00e9al (1989) and Les invasions barbares (2003), which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film \u2013 the first for Quebec (and Canada). After more than 60 years in the industry, Arcand continues to direct.<\/p>\n

Among Arcand\u2019s many honours are a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 1995 and a Canada\u2019s Walk of Fame induction in 2004. He is also a Companion of the Order of Canada (2004) and a Compagnon de l\u2019Ordre des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec (2015).<\/p>\n

About the stamp<\/strong>
\nThe stamp features a black and white photograph by Bertand Carri\u00e8re of Arcand behind the camera during the filming of Le d\u00e9clin de l’empire am\u00e9ricain in 1985.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed by Paprika and printed by Lowe-Martin, the issue includes a booklet of six Permanent\u2122 domestic rate stamps and an Official First Day Cover, which showcase the photography of Alexandre Isard and Rick Eglinton. The cancel site is Deschambault, Quebec, where Arcand spent his childhood.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stamp and collectible are available at canadapost.ca<\/a> and postal outlets across Canada.<\/p>\n

Denys Arcand se tourne par la suite vers la fiction, genre lui offrant plus de libert\u00e9 pour exprimer sa vision et provoquer le public, et qui finit par lui valoir les \u00e9loges de la critique.<\/p>\n
