Marcel Carrière (born April 16, 1935) is a Canadian film director and sound engineer.
[1] Marcel Carrière joined the NFB in 1955 after studying electronic engineering and developed his skills as a sound engineer while working on wildlife films, the Candid Eye series and the work of the newly formed French Unit.
His first solo effort was Villeneuve, peintre-barbier (1964) but it was the documentary short Avec tambours et trompettes (1968) that was his first great success and drew critical acclaim.
The film is a comical social satire about a jobless and penniless middle-aged man who has a brief romance with a young woman before being caught by his creditors.
He then had an active role in founding INIS and the Phonothèque québécoise and still offers his services as a consultant on documentary films.
