Des voix dans ma tête
Karina Marceau
Psychiatrist Marie-Eve Cotton has been traveling to Nunavik six times a year for nearly 20 years. During her stays in the Far North, she quickly realized that, in addition to the difficult living conditions in Indigenous communities, the approach to mental illness was very different from her usual practice in Montreal. Mental illness is experienced differently from one culture to another, and it sometimes even holds spiritual significance. It was therefore essential for Marie-Eve to learn to navigate cultural beliefs and values that differ from those prevalent in southern Quebec. This documentary follows the psychiatrist as she works to understand mental illness in a completely different way.

Jardins Paradise
Yza Nouiga
Garden of Eden, jardin à la française, English, Zen, Bahai, Arab-Islamic: Gardens reflect history, culture and heritage. They are some of the rare places where intimacy, gatherings, fun and religion coexist. Jardins Paradise ironically diverts the image of the garden as the embodiment of some paradisiacal Eden. It highlights the civic inventiveness of communities stigmatized by a lack of greenery in their neighborhood as well as the contribution of ethnocultural diversity to the urban landscape.
