Le Prix du gouverneur général – une carrière célébrée

On June 5, Sylvain Émard received the 2026 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement. This recognition honours his 45-year career and brilliantly complements the company’s 35th-anniversary celebrations.

To mark the award, the NFB produced a portrait of Sylvain, Thinker of Movement, a beautiful and intimate glimpse into his creative process that you won’t want to miss.
