Claude Jutra

Died in 1986

Claude Jutra (1930-1986), born in Montreal, graduated in medicine at twenty-two, never practised and joined the National Film Board, where he co-directed a short film with Norman McLaren; in France, François Truffaut produced one of his films. Suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he disappeared in November 1986; his body was found in the Saint Lawrence the following spring. Accusations of sexual assault on minors, made public in 2016, led film institutions and several Quebec cities to remove his name from the prizes and places that bore it.
