Samuel Bégin

Born in Valleyfield in 1999, Samuel Bégin is a Quebec screenwriter and director. Holder of a combined bachelor's degree in film and psychology from the Université de Montréal, he brings a deep human sensitivity to his approach.

His filmmaking explores memory, nostalgia, and our relationship to time. Faced with the accelerating pace of the world, Samuel conceives of film as a space for pause and introspection, favoring a slow, contemplative aesthetic with spare dialogue. In 2026, he independently wrote and directed the short film Passé, puis... Futur, which was selected at the Festival Plan d'ensemble.
