Missing Victor Pellerin (French: Rechercher Victor Pellerin) is a Canadian mockumentary film directed by Sophie Deraspe and released in 2016.[1] The film centres on the mystery of Victor Pellerin, a visual artist from Montreal who burned all of his art and disappeared in 1990, on the occasion of a 2005 gallery show exhibiting artwork by other figures who had been influenced by him.[2]
The cast consists principally of real figures in Montreal's arts scene playing fictionalized versions of themselves, including Eudore Belzile, Élisabeth Legrand, Anne Lebeau, Éric Devlin, Olga Korper, Julien Poulin, Alain Lacoursière, Mathieu Beauséjour, Sheila Ribeiro, Sylvain Bouthillette, Maria-Luisa Fernandes, Plastik Patrick and Jean-Frédéric Messier.[1]
The film premiered at the 2006 Festival du nouveau cinéma, where it received a special mention from the Association québécoise des critiques de cinéma.[3]
