Henry Bernadet is a Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter from Quebec, whose solo directorial debut film Gamma Rays (Les Rayons gamma) was released in 2023. [1]
Originally from Quebec City, [2] he made a number of short films as an independent filmmaker before co-directing the feature film West of Pluto (À l'ouest de Pluton) with Myriam Verreault in 2008. [3]
He subsequently moved to Montreal to study film at Concordia University, [2] and directed further short films, and television series episodes, before making Gamma Rays. He cast the film by approaching Georges-Vanier secondary school in the Montreal borough of Villeray to seek out students in the school's theatre program, and working with them to create a film that would depict stories drawn in part from their own experiences as members of racialized minority groups. [4]
Gamma Rays was a shortlisted finalist for the 2024 Prix collégial du cinéma québécois, [5] and Bernadet, Marie-Anne Sergerie and Victor Tremblay-Blouin received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Casting at the 26th Quebec Cinema Awards. [6] He received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Director at the 13th Canadian Screen Awards in 2025, as well as a nomination for Best Original Screenplay with cowriters Nicolas Krief and Isabelle Brouillette.
