Originally from the Matapedia Valley, Guillaume Lévesque is the son of a simple woodcutter. It is by watching the great men, manipulating the trees to cut them down, saw them, that Guillaume has forged an imagery. Very early in his process, he felt the need to express himself on his territory, the people that live there. Losing land (2005), is a documentary on the harmful impacts of the tourist industry of the Magdalen Islands. Gaspesia (2010), presents essays on the territory the relationship between the Gaspé and its inhabitants. Also inspired by the behavior of the human being at the end of life, Guillaume takes a look at old age by interviewing three elderly people in Before Winter (2008). It was at L'INIS in the winter of 2010, as a student in the documentary program that he created Ritual, a film that questions funeral rituals in transformation. In 2012, it presents A shoveling after the other, a tribute to the winter through the portrait of a village "pelleteux". In 2017 Guillaume offers Lawrence’s silence, a documentary portrait of singer-songwriter Lawrence Lepage; poet and man of territory who chose the silence of the forest rather than the spotlight of the scene.
