Bernard Émond (born 1951) is a Canadian director, screenwriter, novelist and essayist working in the French-language.
He studied anthropology at university and lived for several years in the Canadian north where he worked for the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation.
He is noted for the humanistic, sometimes spiritual depth of his films, in particular his trilogy of feature films (2007, 2009, 2012) based on the three Christian virtues, faith, hope, and charity.
Other themes in his work include human dignity and frailty, and cultural loss.
"[1] Bernard Émond is married to Catherine Martin, also a Quebec film director.
