The Paper Man (French: Lafortune en papier, lit. "Lafortune in Paper") is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Tanya Lapointe and released in 2020.[1] The film is a portrait of Claude Lafortune, a paper artist who was an influential personality in Québécois children's television.[2]
Lapointe began making the film in 2018 with an intention to work toward releasing it in 2021 or 2022, but sped up production following Lafortune's death of COVID-19 in April 2020.[3] The film premiered at the 2020 Whistler Film Festival,[4] where it received an honourable mention from the jury for the Whistler Film Festival Documentary Award,[5] and won the Audience Award.[6]
