Filmmaker
Virgile Ratelle
Growing up on Montreal’s South Shore, somewhere between a skateboard and a summer heatwave, Virgile captured his first images by filming his friends as they rode. What began as a simple passion quickly evolved into a filmmaking career, one that shines a light on the quiet honesty hidden in the everyday gloom. Through the Summer trilogy, he offers a visceral portrait of the transition from adolescence to adulthood — three vignettes shaped by an approach that is authentic, formal, simple, and direct.
