Prix Iris for Best Director

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Québec Cinéma presents an annual award for Best Director (French: Prix Iris de la meilleure réalisation) to recognize the best in the Cinema of Quebec.

Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Director in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra.[1] Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma.[1] The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.[2]

Xavier Dolan received the most nominations, with six, while Denis Villeneuve received the most awards, with three. Villeneuve is the only director to win two consecutive awards, for Polytechnique in 2010 and Incendies 2011, while Dolan is the only director to receive two nominations in the same year, for Mommy and Tom at the Farm (Tom à la ferme) in 2015.

To date, nineteen women were nominated for a total of twenty-four nominations, with Léa Pool, Anne Émond, Sophie Dupuis and Monia Chokri receiving multiple nominations. The first to receive a nomination was Manon Briand at the first ceremony for 2 Seconds (2 secondes). Five women have won the award so far, the first being Lyne Charlebois in 2009 for Borderline.
