Carré Saint-Louis : une histoire populaire
Hélène Choquette
The Carré Saint-Louis is the poetic soul of Montreal. It is to Montreal the equivalent of La Place du Tertre in Paris ; a small urban park haunted by the spirit of many artists who helped forge Quebec’s cultural identity. It was that little square who was emerging across the frost garden at Émile Nelligan’s window. The documentary Carré Saint-Louis invites you to a poetic and historical incursion in the little history of this emblematic square which for more than a century was a place where converged bohemian, marginalized, artists and the most fervent independentists.
Lepage au Soleil : à l’origine de Kanata
Hélène Choquette
En 2016, Robert Lepage et la célèbre troupe du Théâtre du Soleil se réunissent pour la création de Kanata, une oeuvre qui imagine la rencontre d’Européens et de gens des Premières Nations du Canada sur deux siècles. Lepage au Soleil montre comment les 34 comédiens, issus de 11 pays différents, découvrent dans leurs propres histoires d’étonnantes résonances avec celles des autochtones. Comment, inspiré par ce cosmopolitisme, Lepage tente d’amener les comédiens à parler de leurs propres histoires à travers celles des autochtones.
L’arbre qui voulait naviguer
Stéphanie Lessard-Bérubé
Dans le contexte d’une crise écologique urbaine, la transformation du frêne montréalais en voile-aviron ouvre la réflexion sur les fins et les impossibles. Ce film est un témoignage visuel de la mise en commun des actions, réalisé grâce au remix de diverses sources matérielles visuelles et sonores.
Faces de jam
Stéphanie Lessard-Bérubé
The dreamlike view of a traditional Quebec music session makes Faces de jam an experience for all the senses. From the outside, the jam circle is a whole. From the inside, it is a creator of interactions between memory, learning and interpretation. Like an experimental painting, this film quietly harmonises in colour and nuance a sum of individuals, instruments and pieces. In collaboration with Labo TRAD.
King Lajoie
Joannie Lafrenière
August 16, 1977, the life of a young 18-year-old trifluvian collapses: his idol, whom he considers his spiritual brother has just been found dead in his mansion in Memphis. The rest is part of history, but what about the young man grown up through the glitter of his idol? In this unusal and colorful biopic, King Lajoie offers a kitsch dive into the world of Elvis Lajoie, a man who shares much more than a name with his idol. A short documentary film produced by Colonelle Films with the collaboration of CBC DOCS

Hortense
Jenny Cartwright
Hortense est une transposition sonore de la nouvelle La roseraie d’Esther Rochon. Elle raconte un voyage en mer, des mondes parallèles, des têtes tranchées. C’est de la science-fiction. C’est surtout le récit de l’émancipation d’une femme.

Bien sûr
Sylvie Laliberté
Small demonstration of “what a mountain is for” with some small objects, words and a song.
Une femme est une femme et moi aussi
Sylvie Laliberté
Here is an interior woman who knows how to receive and who speaks very decorative and so feminine. The result of a very special attention, the image and the sound are one, that is to say that they go at the same speed; at the speed of a woman who seeks to know, in a very simple and practical way. Or when being a woman is almost child’s play.
