Hunting the Northern Godard (French: Chasse au Godard d'Abbittibbi) is a Canadian drama film, directed by and released in 2013.[1] Inspired by influential film director Jean-Luc Godard's visit to the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec in 1968, the film centres on the developing relationship between Paul (Martin Dubreuil), a musician from Montreal who accompanied Godard on the trip, and Marie (Sophie Desmarais), a young woman from Rouyn-Noranda who becomes drawn into a love triangle between Paul and her boyfriend Michel (Alexandre Castonguay).[2]

The character of Paul was based on of Offenbach.[3]

Dubreuil's real-life garage rock band Les Breastfeeders appear in the film as Paul's band Les Tragédiens. Godard himself is a minor character in the film, portrayed by musician Jean-Philippe Goncalves, and the film includes narration by playwright René-Daniel Dubois.

The film received five Jutra Award nominations at the 16th Jutra Awards in 2014, for Best Art Direction (Marie-Hélène Lavoie), Best Costume Design (Caroline Bodson), Best Makeup (Maïna Militza), Best Hairstyling (Militza) and Best Sound (Yann Cleary and Martin Rouillard).[4]
