Jean-Claude Lauzon's 1992 coming of age-fantasy film film "Léolo" won three Genie Awards and is now considered one of the best Canadian films of all time, but it was to be his last film as his life was cut short by a 1997 plane crash. Montreal's Denis Villeneuve made his feature directorial debut with the 1998 drama "Un 32 août sur terre (August 32nd on Earth)", which was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.
