Pierre Patry (November 2, 1933 – June 7, 2014) was a Canadian film director and screenwriter. Born in Hull, Quebec, Patry began his career in the theatre as an actor and a playwright. He was a founding member of the Canadian Association of Amateur Theatre. He joined the National Film Board of Canada in 1957 as a writer on the Panoramique series. Patry was a major force in the beginning of the Quebec feature-film industry in the sixties. He directed three features, most notably Trouble-Maker (Trouble fête) in 1964.[1] He left the NFB in 1963 to co-found the film cooperative Coopératio with Roger Blais and Jean-Claude Lord.[1] Unfortunately, the company shut down after five years because of systemic problems in the financing and distribution of feature films. In 1981 he was a major player in the development of the French language educational television station Canal Savoir. Patri died on June 7, 2014.
