Loumède Colette
Colette Loumède has worked in audiovisual production since 1984. After earning a law degree from Université de Montréal, she worked for ten years with La Coopérative Vidéoscopique de Montréal, a production company specializing in auteur films.
She then moved to Synercom Téléproductions, where she was in charge of documentary film. During her tenure she conceived and developed, jointly with Fernand Harvey of INRS-Culture et Société, a 19 part series on Quebec culture, La culture dans tous ses états, which aired on Télé-Québec. She went on to produce several one-off documentaries for Les Productions du Regard, including Le prix de la vie, directed by Bruno Baillargeon, Le verbe incendié, by Denis Chouinard, and Écho des territoires, by Richard Jutras.
In 2000, Loumède left the private sector to work as a project manager for SODEC (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles du Québec) where she headed the team that selected funding applications for independent and documentary productions. In 2002, she joined the National Film Board as executive producer of French Program's Documentary Studio A. In addition to her documentary responsibilities, she is also the producer in charge of fiction, an exciting new initiative for the NFB. Fiction projects being co-produced with the studio include Projet 24, six short films by young directors, and Toujours à part des autres.
