Gilles Carle,( July 31, 1928 – November 28, 2009) was a French Canadian director, screenwriter and painter. His innovative debut feature," La Vie heureuse de Léopold Z.", tracked the adventures of a snowplough operator during a madcap Christmas Eve.

In 1971 Carle joined forces with Pierre Lamy to form Les Productions Carle- Lamy, which produced Claude Jutra ’s epic" Kamouraska", Denys Arcand ’s early features and all his early films. The quirkily paced, proto-feminist" La Vraie Nature de Bernadette" – widely regarded as his best film – and" Le Mort d ’un bûcheron" eventually led to the more mainstream but graceful" Les Plouffe" and the epic love story" Maria Chapdelaine", both classics of Quebec cinema. In 1972 Carle won the Canadian Film Award for best Director for his" The True Nature of Bernadette". Carle was born in Maniwaki, Quebec. His film" 50 ans", celebrating the" 50 years" of the National Film Board of Canada, won the Short Film Palme d' Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.
