VOTE FOR THE MEL HOPPENHEIM AUDIENCE AWARD

Published on October 27 2020

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE 
For 23 years, without interruption and always with passion and generosity, Mel Hoppenheim has brought  his personal support to CINEMANIA. Thanks to his steadfast commitment, he who, in the film industry, is nicknamed “the builder”, has always contributed to and still participates in the development of the festival.

This is why, since 1998, CINEMANIA has awarded its largest purse to the film that garners the most votes from film viewers. Each year, the Mel Hoppenheim Audience Award celebrates the most popular feature film in the CINEMANIA selection. Awarded to such well-established filmmakers as Radu Mihaileanu or François Ozon, this distinction has also allowed new talents such as the director Maïwenn to become much better known in Canada. 

Mr. Mel Hoppenheim

Founder of Panavision Canada and Mel’s Cinema City, a large cinema and television equipment and services business, Mel Hoppenheim is an iconic figure in the Quebec cinematography industry. Principal benefactor of Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim Film School, which welcomes 500 students a year, he is the co-founder of l’Institut national de l’image et du son (INIS).  

In 2012, he received the Grand Prix of America special award at the World Film Festival (WFF) to celebrate his remarkable career. An avowed cinephile, Mel is particularly fascinated by French film icons such as Catherine Deneuve and deeply admires Québécois filmmakers such as Jean-Pierre Lefebvre and Jean-Claude Labrecque.
