Étienne O'Leary

Director & actor · born 24 October 1944 · Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Étienne O’Leary’s filmography consists essentially of three experimental films completed in Paris between 1966 and 1968. Day Tripper, Homeo (aka Homeo: Minor Death: Coming Back from Going Home) and Chromo Sud constitute a cinema of resistance. These brutally personal and subversive films form a body of work with few precedents.

Where to start: Chromo sud (1968).
