Jutra is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre and released in 2014.[1] Blending live action with animation, the film is a portrait of influential Quebec filmmaker Claude Jutra, structured as an interview in which Jutra is both the questioner and the interview guest.[2]

The film premiered at the Saguenay International Short Film Festival in March 2014. It was subsequently screened at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in the Director's Fortnight stream.[2]

The film won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Short Documentary Film at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards,[3] and the Prix Jutra for Best Animated Short Film at the 17th Jutra Awards.[4]
