As the entire country watches, Guibord unwillingly finds himself in the awkward position of holding the decisive vote to determine whether Canada will go to war. Accompanied by his wife, his daughter and an idealistic intern from Haiti named Souverain (Sovereign) Pascal, Guibord travels across his district in order to consult his constituents. While groups of lobbyists get involved in a debate that spins out of control, the MP will have to face his own conscience.

Mon Année Salinger
Présente MON ANNÉE SALINGER Un film de Philippe Falardeau 101 mins, Canada/Ireland, 2020 Langue originale : anglais Doublage et sous-titrage français disponibles Distribution Presse Métropole Films Distribution IXION Communications 5360 Boulevard Saint-LAurent Judith Dubeau Montréal (QC) H2T 1S1 Tel: 514 495-8176 Tel: 514 223 5511 [email protected] www.metropolefilms.com SYNOPSIS New York, 1996. Joanna (Margaret Qualley) est une jeune diplômée en littérature qui veut devenir écrivaine. Mais à peine a-t-elle le temps de poursuivre son objectif qu'elle est embauchée comme assistante dans une agence littéraire renommée mais plutôt traditionnelle. Sa patronne, Margaret (Sigourney Weaver), une femme sévère et intimidante, est l'agente de J.D. Salinger. L'auteur mythique veut publier un livre plus de trente ans après sa dernière parution. Malgré sa longue absence, Salinger reçoit encore des milliers de lettres d’admirateurs qui veulent établir un contact avec lui. Le travail de Joanna consiste alors principalement à leur envoyer la même lettre générique. Mais lorsqu’elle commence à répondre personnellement à certaines de ces lettres, Joanna s’investit émotionnellement. La jeune femme est alors forcée de se questionner sur son avenir : souhaite-t-elle travailler en édition ou devenir écrivaine à part entière? Salinger et ses admirateurs joueront un rôle discret, mais significatif, dans son cheminement. Mon année Salinger (My Salinger Year) est adapté du récit autobiographique de Joanna Rakoff, publié en 2014. Entretien avec le réalisateur Vous avez écrit directement certains de vos longs métrages ainsi que des scénarios adaptés. Mon année Salinger, le mémoire remarqué de Joanna Rakoff, est votre première grande adaptation de livre. -

The lectures will be given at the usual class times, recorded, and then posted on myCourses. Similarly, discussions around assigned readings and films will take place as scheduled. They too will be recorded and uploaded to myCourses. Introduction Purpose of the Course This course is an introduction to the ideas and approaches that scholars have applied to and derived from the study of Quebec. It has been designed to familiarize you with some of the foremost issues, which have shaped and continue to influence contemporary life in Quebec. Employing an interdisciplinary focus, the course examines changing notions about how Quebecers have lived together: specifically by what means they have interacted with one another, earned a living, and responded to various political regimes. With eleven Indigenous nations, multilingual, multiethnic, racialized, and religious communities, minority status in Canada, and so much more, the complexity and diversity of Quebec will be explored. Given anxiety about the ‘racial’ makeup of Quebec, particularly in periods of mass immigration that subjected newcomers to intolerance and debates about their inability to meet the standards of inclusion, attention will also be paid to ideas about citizenship. -

After burying the body, he wakes up deep in the snow-covered forest unaware of where he is. Every path he follows out of the woods seems to lead him right back to the plow. He is confronted with guilt, confusion, solitude, and the cruelty of Mother Nature. As days go by, Bruce is increasingly dependant on the weapon of his crime for his very survival. Set in the snowy winter of Northern Quebec, Whitewash is a psychological thriller that follows with dark humour a man’s imprisonment in the forest and his quest for survival, redemption and sanity.

For Those Who Don’t Read Me (Original French Title: À tous ceux qui ne me lisent pas) a film by Yan Giroux written by Guillaume Corbeil Yan Giroux starring Martin Dubreuil Céline Bonnier Henri Picard CONTACT: Élaine Hébert, Luc Déry, Kim McCraw Tel : +1 514 844-4554 [email protected] synopsis All his life, Yves dedicated himself to poetry, carrying his suitcase to any couch that would welcome him. When he storms into Dyane's life, a graphic designer who falls for his charms, her son Marc immediately disapproves of this eccentric stranger in his mother's bed. But the studious teenager soon finds Yves' rebel ways contagious and begins to explore his own artistic side. Meanwhile, the poet feels increasingly trapped in his new life and decides to sabotage everything in a great outburst. Now alone at the end of the world, he realizes his words no longer mean anything. Freely inspired by the life and work of Quebec poet Yves Boisvert (1950-2012), For Those Who Don't Read Me tells the story of a man's quest for the absolute, fighting not to end up forgotten between two cookbooks.
