Guy Borremans (July 11, 1934 - December 29, 2012) was a Belgian-Canadian cinematographer and photographer.[1] He was most noted for his work on Clément Perron's film Day After Day (Jour après jour), for which he won the Canadian Film Award for Best Black-and-White Cinematography at the 15th Canadian Film Awards in 1963.[2]
Born and raised in Dinant, Belgium, Borremans moved to Canada with his family in 1951.[1] Strongly influenced by surrealism, he was closely associated with the Les Automatistes arts movement.[1] As a cinematographer, he was associated primarily with documentary films, with other credits including Wealth of a Nation (1964), a production for the US Information Agency directed by William Greaves, À St-Henri le cinq septembre, Golden Gloves, Manouane River Lumberjacks (Bûcherons de la Manouane) and 24 heures ou plus.
He was married to actress Luce Guilbeault.[1] Following her death in 1991, he remarried to Mary Kostman.
He died on December 29, 2012, in Trois-Rivières.[1] In 2016 Ariel Borremans, his son with Guilbeault, published the book Ma mère dans l'oeil de mon père, a collection of his photographs of Guilbeault throughout their marriage.[3]
