Catherine Martin (born 1958) is a Canadian screenwriter and film director.[1]

Martin was born in Hull, Quebec. A graduate of the film studies program at Concordia University,[2] she made a number of short films, including the "Shirley Bear" segment of the anthology film Five Feminist Minutes, before releasing her debut feature film Marriages (Mariages) in 2001.[3] The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top Ten list for 2001,[4] and Martin received a Genie Award nomination for Best Screenplay at the 22nd Genie Awards.[5]

She followed up with the documentary film Ocean (Océan) in 2002, which was again named to that year's Canada's Top Ten list.[6] In 2006 she released both the documentary film The Spirit of Places (L'Esprit des lieux)[7] and the narrative feature film In the Cities (Dans les villes).[8]

In 2010 she released Mourning for Anna (Trois temps après la mort d'Anna),[9] which again made the Canada's Top Ten list for 2010.[10]

In 2011 she collaborated with musicians Sebastien Grainger, Dan Werb and Jennifer Castle on a short film about the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve, as part of the National Parks Project.[11]

She has since released the feature film Une jeune fille in 2013,[12] and the documentary film Some of My Friends (Certains de mes amis) in 2017.[13]

She is married to film director Bernard Émond.[1]
