Writer’s biography

Both a writer and director, Daniel Canty’s writing occupies a central place in his work, where literature and publishing cross paths with cinema and theatre, new media and visual arts. He is currently preparing Le livre de chevet, a collective work dedicated to sleep, which follows La Table des matières, about food, and Cité Selon, about the city. The Elektra festival has recently invited him to participate in Angles: arts numériques, an essay for three hands. With Patrick Beaulieu, he’s embarked on the saga of Vector Monarca, a poetic journey tracing, by way of land, the migratory journey of monarch butterflies. He works as a dramaturge with Marie Brassard, and curates Interactive Screen, an event hosted by the Banff Centre. His one-minute film Ace of Hearts has just been shown at Nashville’s Fugitive Video Project 2009. His writing can sometimes be found in the magazine Liberté and in each edition of Le Bathyscaphe.
