Pas de pays sans paysans
Ève Lamont
In this documentary, crop and animal farmers in Quebec, the Canadian West, the US Northeast and France offer solutions to the social and environmental scourges of factory farming. Driven by the forces of globalization, rampant agribusiness is harming the environmemt and threatening the survival of farms. The proliferation of GMO crops is a further threat to biodiversity as well as to farmers’ autonomy. In Europe as well as North America, a current of resistance bringing together farmers and consumers insists that it is possible – indeed imperative – to grow food differently.

With the Idle No More movement making front page headlines, this film provides background and context for one aspect of the growing crisis.
Il n’est pas innocent que le bonheur soit heureux
Sylvie Laliberté
Happiness is a tautological state. Why are we happy? Because we are happy. It is very simple. And it smells good. Still happy that we can be happy. This video was made for the Manif d’art 2003 in Quebec City, about happiness and simulacra.
J’ai tout compris
Sylvie Laliberté
A very simple video clip: the singer jumps from one picture to another and does some quality lip-sync on a real love song full of love. The whole thing is perfectly synchronized. It’s a clip without beautiful girls and guys behind the singer.
In Search of a Lost Continent
Elza Kephart
The film is told from the point-of-view of a schizophrenic, or perhaps a mystic, walking through the city in search of a mythical “lost continent”.
L’outil n’est pas toujours un marteau
Sylvie Laliberté
