Raymonde Provencher

Raymonde Provencher is a Canadian documentary filmmaker,[1] most noted for her films War Babies (War Babies, nés de la haine)[2] and Grace, Milly, Lucy...Child Soldiers (Grace, Milly, Lucy ... Des fillettes soldates).[3]

Formerly a television journalist associated most prominently with Télé-Québec's documentary series Nord-Sud, she cofounded the Macumba Films documentary studio with Robert Cornellier and Patricio Henríquez in 1995.[4] In addition to her own work as a director, she is often credited as a producer on films directed by Cornellier or Henríquez.

War Babies was the winner of the Hot Docs Audience Award at the 2003 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival,[5] and won four Gémeaux Awards in 2003.[6]

A retrospective program of Provencher's films War Babies, Grace, Milly, Lucy, Crimes Without Honour and Café Désirs was scheduled to take place at Hot Docs in 2020.[7] When the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the retrospective was postponed instead of taking place as part of the online program,[8] and instead was staged at the 2022 festival.[9]
