Les Terribles Vivantes
Dorothy Todd Hénaut
This feature documentary offers an intimate glimpse of three respected yet controversial Quebec writers. Now recognized at home and abroad, Louky Bersianik, Jovette Marchessault and Nicole Brossard have contributed greatly to the creation of a distinctive women’s literature. Confirming that fresh approaches to literature are still possible, they have helped to heighten awareness of the politics of language. Excerpts from their works vividly convey each woman’s style, concerns and rhythms. They examine personal and global issues from a feminist perspective: human relationships, work, justice, poverty, loneliness, women’s spirituality, and the future.
Un amour naissant
Dorothy Todd Hénaut
Un amour naissant, c’est l’histoire d’une femme très sensuelle et très enceinte, d’un gars sensible, d’un bébé pressant. Une histoire de sexe et de tendresse, d’ambivalence et d’abandon, de plaisir et de douleur. Une fiction belle comme la réalité, parfois, quand l’aventure d’un soir peut devenir l’affaire d’une vie.

L’autre Rio
Émilie Beaulieu-Guérette

A few steps away from the Maracanã stadium, but far from the international attention, a hundred pauperized families live together in an abandoned building. Despite the misery, gang violence and militarization of the neighborhood, the residents survive with ingenuity and resilience. Ignored by the sensationalist reports, their dignified and generous words reveal a universe of concrete and light, where the reality of today fades behind the aspirations for tomorrow.
