Born in rural Quebec, Dostie is a self-taught artist with a unique career path. As a poet, he published Shenley (2014), Trois saisons aux courses (2020) and Que ceux qui m'aiment me sauvent (2022), collections that led him to perform throughout the French-speaking world. On the silver screen, his short films Mutants (2016) and Je finirai en prison (2019) won numerous awards, including the Iris du cinéma québécois, the Academy of Canadian Cinema's Écrans gala and the Toronto Film Festival. His films have also toured the world at prestigious festivals such as Sundance, Clermont-Ferrand and BFI London, to name but a few. BOA, his new film co-produced with France, will be released in 2025. Dostie is currently working on his first feature film at COOP Vidéo in Montreal, as well as putting the finishing touches to his first play, Kiki et la colère.
