Biography Rémy Huberdeau was born and raised in the primarily French-speaking neighbourhood of Saint Boniface in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. For his post-secondary education, he studied at the nearby University of Manitoba, where he acquired a degree in Native Studies. He is Franco-Manitoban. After university, Huberdeau moved to Montreal, Quebec, to pursue his passion of film-making. In 2009, he graduated from the Institut National de l’Image et du Son (INIS). Years later, Huberdeau released another experimental short documentary film, Home of the Buffalo (Au pays des esprits), in 2009, the same year he graduated from INIS. The school was involved in the making of this film, as it originated from a school-related exercise. This film has been categorised as a visual letter from Huberdeau to his father, while also combining archival photographs of working-class people from the 1920s.
