Robert Morin (born May 20, 1949) is a Canadian film director, screenwriter, and cinematographer.

[1] In 2009, he received the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.

[2] Robert Morin is known for his very personal, dark, and pessimistic "interior views" of family, crime, law enforcement, and human suffering,[3] with his work regularly moving back and forth between relatively conventional dramas with multi-actor casts, and experimental personal essay films in which Morin, or a single actor cast as a stand-in, stars in essentially a film-length philosophical monologue from the perspective of a character who, whether by choice or circumstance, has become an outsider to mainstream society.

[4] After studying literature and communications, in 1971 he began to work as a cameraman, joining ORTQ in Rimouski, where he directed films and videos.

In 1977, with a group of friends and colleagues, Morin founded La Coopérative de Production Vidéo de Montréal,[5] where he continues to produce his own work.
