Patrick Demers is a film director from Montreal, born in 1969 in Saint-Eustache, Quebec.
Following his graduation from film school at the age of 22, Demers traveled around the world alone over six months with a handheld camera for La Course destination monde (Radio-Canada Television) and started shooting.
His next documentary, Regular or Super: Views on Mies van der Rohe, that he co-directed and edited, won Best Canadian Work at the Festival International du Film sur l'Art en 2004.

Origami (2017) premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival[9] where it won the Barry Convex Special Jury Prize for its deft direction, sophisticated visual aesthetic, strong performances, and the successful blending of genres in a complex story told in a refreshingly unconventional manner.
