James de Beaujeu Domville (23 June 1933[1] – 2 April 2015) was a French-born Canadian theatrical producer and administrator.
In addition to his theatrical work, Domville served in several important Canadian cultural positions, including five years as Commissioner of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
Domville was born in Cannes[1] on the French Riviera to a Canadian father and an American mother.
[2] In his time at the NFB he pursued his enthusiasm for underwater diving by directing two films about the subject, Sub-Igloo and Arctic IV, and co-producing an evening of programming on the theme for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which included a live transmission from the bottom of Resolute Bay.
[8] Following disagreements with the government, and despite feeling that it had been the most interesting phase of his career,[6] Domville left his role at the NFB in January 1984.
