Windigo is a Canadian drama film, directed by Robert Morin and released in 1994.[1] Partially based on Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, the film centres on a First Nations group in rural northern Quebec who have declared independence from Canada, and a journalist from Montreal who travels to their territory to cover the story.[2]
The cast includes Donald Morin, Guy Nadon, Yvon Leroux, Richard Kistabish and Serge Houde.
The film premiered at the 1994 Toronto International Film Festival,[3] where it received an honorable mention from the jury for the Best Canadian Film award.[4] It went into commercial release in November 1994.[1]
The film was one of six finalists for the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois's Prix L.-E. Ouimet-Molson in 1995.[5]
