Marc Robitaille is a Canadian screenwriter, novelist and sportswriter.[1] He is most noted for his work on the films Winter Stories (Histoires d'hiver), for which he and François Bouvier received a Genie Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 20th Genie Awards[2] and a Jutra Award nomination for Best Screenplay at the 2nd Jutra Awards, and The Vinland Club (Le Club Vinland), for which he was a Prix Iris nominee for Best Screenplay at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards.[3]
Winter Stories was an adaptation of Robitaille's own novel Des histoires d'hiver, avec des rues, des écoles et du hockey.[4] His second novel, Un été sans point ni coup sûr, was subsequently adapted into the film A No-Hit No-Run Summer.[5]
Robitaille has also written several non-fiction books on the history of the Montreal Expos and the Montreal Canadiens, including Une enfance bleu-blanc-rouge (2000), Une vue du champ gauche (2003), Il était une fois les Expos, Tome 1 : Les années 1969-1984 (2009) and Il était une fois les Expos, Tome 2 : Les années 1985-2004 (2011).[6]
