After studying Film at the Université de Montréal (1999-2002), Simon Beaulieu started directing his first documentary about artist Serge Lemoyne, a project on which he worked for three years. Lemoyne (2005), was well-received by critics and was selected in many film festivals, in Quebec and abroad. Working as a film critic for the magazine Séquences from 2002 to 2006, he covered many local film festivals.
Simon is passionate about Quebec culture, in its political and artistic dimensions. Therefore, in 2006 he started researching, scripting and directing the movie Godin (2011), a feature documentary about Gérald Godin, the poet and political figure, before looking into the life of Gaston Miron in Miron : a man returned from outside the world (2014).
