**Guy Borremans** (July 11, 1934 - December 29, 2012) was a [Belgian](/source/Belgians)-[Canadian](/source/Canadians) cinematographer and photographer.[1] He was most noted for his work on [Clément Perron](/source/Cl%C3%A9ment_Perron)'s film *[Day After Day](/source/Day_After_Day_(film)) (Jour après jour)*, for which he won the [Canadian Film Award](/source/Canadian_Film_Award) for [Best Black-and-White Cinematography](/source/Canadian_Screen_Award_for_Best_Cinematography) at the [15th Canadian Film Awards](/source/15th_Canadian_Film_Awards) in 1963.[2]

Born and raised in [Dinant](/source/Dinant), [Belgium](/source/Belgium), Borremans moved to Canada with his family in 1951.[1] Strongly influenced by [surrealism](/source/Surrealism), he was closely associated with the [Les Automatistes](/source/Les_Automatistes) arts movement.[1] As a cinematographer, he was associated primarily with documentary films, with other credits including Wealth of a Nation (1964), a production for the [US Information Agency](/source/United_States_Information_Agency) directed by [William Greaves](/source/William_Greaves), *[À St-Henri le cinq septembre](/source/%C3%80_St-Henri_le_cinq_septembre)*, *[Golden Gloves](/source/Golden_Gloves_(1961_film))*, *[Manouane River Lumberjacks](/source/Manouane_River_Lumberjacks) (Bûcherons de la Manouane)* and *[24 heures ou plus](/source/24_heures_ou_plus)*.

He was married to actress [Luce Guilbeault](/source/Luce_Guilbeault).[1] Following her death in 1991, he remarried to Mary Kostman.

He died on December 29, 2012, in [Trois-Rivières](/source/Trois-Rivi%C3%A8res).[1] In 2016 Ariel Borremans, his son with Guilbeault, published the book *Ma mère dans l'oeil de mon père*, a collection of his photographs of Guilbeault throughout their marriage.[3]
