In France, it won three César – Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Director; in Italy, the Donatello for Best Foreign Language Film; at the Cannes Film Festival, the Best Actress and Best Screenplay awards, amongst many. In 1989, Denys Arcand directed the powerful Jesus of Montreal (Jesus de Montréal) which won the Jury’s Grand Prize and the Ecumenical Prize in Cannes. The film also earned 12 Genie Awards in addition of being nominated for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category. In 2007, his film Days of Darkness (L’Âge Des ténèbres) was the Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival for Closing Night, a very special evening as it was the 60th birthday of the festival. His film The Decline of the American Empire (Le déclin de l’empire américain) won the International Critic’s Prize (FIPRESCI) (in Cannes) as well as an Oscar nomination as Best Foreign Language Film. In addition to his work as a filmmaker, Denys Arcand has published several articles and a book entitled Euchariste Moisan (2013). In 2011, he created, with artist Adad Hannah, an installation called SAFARI for the Big Bang Exposition celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. A lover of classical music, he will direct in 2015 the opera Zémire and Azor, with Les Violons du Roy and the students of the school of Opera of Montreal. Denys Arcand is Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters (France); Companion of the Order of Canada and Knight of the National Order of Quebec. He is also a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Denys Arcand’s films depict his love for history and his passionate look at the human condition. 5 AN EYE FOR BEAUTY | PRESS KIT CAST ÉRIC BRUNEAU Luc ÉRIC BRUNEAU graduated from l'École nationale de théâtre du Canada in 2006. His career is already well started. We have seen him on TV in some popular series like Annie et ses hommes, Musée Éden and Tu m’aimes- tu ? Presently, we can see him in the new detective series Mensonges. His interpretation of Sylvain Régimbald in Toute la vérité has earned him several nominations for the Prix Artis du meilleur rôle masculin dans une télésérie québécoise. On stage, he was part of prestigious plays including Christine, la reine- garçon, Equus, Élisabeth, roi d’Angleterre, Un simple soldat, Tom à la ferme and more recently on Les liaisons dangereuses. On big screen, he played in films like Les Etats-Unis d’Albert and Coteau Rouge (A. Forcier), Les pieds dans le vide (M. Woolfe), Gerry (A. Desrochers) and Les Amours Imaginaires (X. Dolan). MÉLANIE THIERRY Stéphanie Mélanie Thierry began on big screen in Giuseppe Tornatore's film called La légende du pianiste sur l'océan. The very same year, she will be recognized due to her role of Esmeralda in Patrick Timsit's Quasimodo d'el Paris. Thereafter she will appear in several major proJects both on big screen (15 août, Les écorchés, Pardonnez-moi, Chrysalis, Babylon AD...) and small screen (Merci, les enfants vont bien; Fête de famille). She also delivers impressive performances on stage in plays like Le vieux juif blonde (nominated to the Molières « Révélation théâtrale ») and ''Baby Doll'' which earned her nomination to the Molières «Meilleure Actrice». Her career took a new twist in Philipe Godeau's film Le Dernier pour la route: her performance is awarded the César for Most Promising Actress in 2010. Thereafter she played the inaccessible Charlotte Desrives in L'Autre Dumas and Bertrand Tavernier's Princess of Montpensier. The film will be selected for the official competition at Cannes 2010. Another maJor figure of French Cinema, André Téchiné, placed her along with André Dussollier and Carole Bouquet in Impardonnables, presented at the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes in 2011. She invests herself in the first feature film of Stéphane Cazes (Ombline) and Hugo Gelin (Comme Des Frères). In 2013 she starred in Diane Kurys's last film called Pour une femme. Finally, she was on the Official Selection in Venice in September 2013 along with the mythic director Terry Gilliam for his latest film "The Zero Theorem" in which her main partner is Christoph Waltz. AN EYE FOR BEAUTY | PRESS KIT 6 MELANIE MERKOSKY Lindsay A true triple threat, Canadian actress Melanie Merkosky has been performing professionally as an actress, singer and dancer since the age of twelve in film, television and on stages around the world. Melanie is currently shooting a recurring role on The Strain, the new FX series from Guillermo De Toro. Residing in Los Angeles, and studying under master acting teacher Anthony Meindl, Melanie has developed a repertoire of work on both sides of the border. She continues to support and maintain strong ties to the film industry in Canada. Melanie grew up singing and dancing on scholarship with the Young Canadians School of Performing Arts. She trained classically as a singer and dancer through the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Royal Academy of Dance examinations, respectively. Ms. Merkosky has performed across North America in nationally acclaimed theaters and Festivals including Anne of Green Gables at the Charlottetown Festival and the First National Tour of the smash musical Mamma Mia!. Melanie has appeared in numerous film and television series including Runaway for the CW, the American Pie franchise and the award winning Canadian series Slings & Arrows. She's also caught significant attention and acclaim as a pioneer of the online entertainment movement as the star of notable web series including Lonelygirl15 and Harper's Globe for CBS. Melanie was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a drama at the second annual International Academy of Web Television (IAWTV) Awards for her work in the high profile American web series Continuum. MARIE-JOSÉE CROZE Isabelle In 1999, filmmaker Denis Villeneuve decided to assign the lead role of Maelstöm to Marie-Josée Croze, a French- Canadian actress who has distinguished herself through some popular films and series. This film had a maJor impact on her career whether it is in the role of a rebellious young woman in Atom Egoyan's Ararat or in the many interpretation awards that she won at various festivals across the world. Author Cinema now seems to be the path of the actress. Denys Arcand's fabulous film The Barbarian Invasions gives her the opportunity to play a drug addict character that the Jury of The Cannes Film Festival noticed and for which she won Best Actress in 2003. She then succeeds in French Cinema with films such as Guillaume Canet’s Ne le dis à personne, Zabou Breitman’s Je l'aimais, Tony Gatlif’s Liberté, Jean Becker’s Deux jours à tuer and Nicole Garcia’s Un balcon sur la mer. Across the Atlantic, Julian Schnabel who loved her in Steven Spielberg’s Munich offers her a very pretty speech pathologist role in Le Scaphandre et le papillon. At the end of 2013, we admired Marie- Josée Croze in Mensonges d’États, a Xavier Daugreilh’s creation, directed by Nicolas Briançon and produced in the Madelaine Theater in Paris. In 2014, we will see her in several films like John Mc Donagh’s Calvary (selected at Sundance & Berlin), Tala Hadid’s The Narrow Frame of Midnight, Wim Wenders’s Every Thing Wil Be Fine, and Mathieu Delaporte’s Un illustre Inconnu. 7 AN EYE FOR BEAUTY | PRESS KIT MATHIEU QUESNEL Nicolas Mathieu graduated from the Conservatory of Dramatic Art of Montreal in 2006. Since then he has accumulated projects. On stage he is part of various production such as Au Champ de Mars from Théâtre de la Manufacture, L'Assassinat du président from Théâtre du Futur, L'Obsession de la beauté from Lab87, and more recently Les Flâneurs célestes. On TV we saw him in 30 Vies, La Galère, Tout sur moi, Les Rescapés and Penthouse 5-0.

    QUEBEC MBA ASSOCIATION APRIL 25, 2012 The Canadian audiovisual industry: We mean business Speech delivered by Carolle Brabant, C.P.A., C.A., MBA Executive Director, Telefilm Canada I’d like to thank you for being here today as well as thank the Quebec MBA Association for making culture a part of these lunch-time talks. As an MBA graduate myself, I’m delighted to be able to use this forum to speak to you about a passionate and important industry for the economic and cultural future of Canada: the audiovisual industry. I decided to join this industry over 21 years ago and I’ve never regretted it. It has let me combine my passion for business with my passion for the arts. Every day, I get to work with inspirational, dynamic people who motivate me. 1/24 There’s been much talk of culture in the media these past few weeks as a result of the federal government’s recent budget cuts. But there’s also been much talk about the success garnered by Canadian productions. One need only think of the tremendous box office success enjoyed by Starbuck. It was announced this week that DreamWorks has acquired the remake rights and that Ken Scott would be the director. Then, of course, there’s Monsieur Lazhar, which made it all the way to the Oscars! The Canadian audiovisual industry is a vibrant, active industry that touches us every day through our television screens, at the movies, and increasingly on our computers and phones. It is an industry deserving of our attention, notably because of its contribution to the culture and economy of our country.

  • Robert Lepage's Scenographic Dramaturgy: the Aesthetic Signature at Work
    1 Robert Lepage’s Scenographic Dramaturgy: The Aesthetic Signature at Work Melissa Poll Abstract Heir to the écriture scénique introduced by theatre’s modern movement, director Robert Lepage’s scenography is his entry point when re-envisioning an extant text. Due to widespread interest in the Québécois auteur’s devised offerings, however, Lepage’s highly visual interpretations of canonical works remain largely neglected in current scholarship. My paper seeks to address this gap, theorizing Lepage’s approach as a three-pronged ‘scenographic dramaturgy’, composed of historical-spatial mapping, metamorphous space and kinetic bodies. By referencing a range of Lepage’s extant text productions and aligning elements of his work to historical and contemporary models of scenography-driven performance, this project will detail how the three components of Lepage’s scenographic dramaturgy ‘write’ meaning-making performance texts. Historical-Spatial Mapping as the foundation for Lepage’s Scenographic Dramaturgy In itself, Lepage’s reliance on evocative scenography is inline with the aesthetics of various theatre-makers. Examples range from Appia and Craig’s early experiments summoning atmosphere through lighting and minimalist sets to Penny Woolcock’s English National Opera production of John Adams’s Dr. Atomic1 which uses digital projections and film clips to revisit the circumstances leading up to Little Boy’s release on Hiroshima in 1945. Other artists known for a signature visual approach to locating narrative include Simon McBurney, who incorporates digital projections to present Moscow via a Google Maps perspective in Complicité’s The Master and Margarita and auteur Benedict Andrews, whose recent production of Three Sisters sees Chekhov’s heroines stranded on a mound of dirt at the play’s conclusion, an apt metaphor for their dreary futures in provincial Russia.

  • 1 DIALOGUE & OUTREACH Department OIC Islamophobia
    DIALOGUE & OUTREACH Department OIC Islamophobia Observatory Monthly Bulletin – November 2017 MANIFESTATIONS OF ISLAMOPHOBIA: A. In the United States and Canada: US: Police seek man they believe desecrated 2 Brooklyn mosques— A community came together in November 2017 in a show of solidarity, after a Brooklyn mosque was desecrated. Police said the same man desecrated another mosque on the same day. A hammier-wielding man was seen on video breaking a door of the Beit El-Maqdis Islamic Center in Sunset Park, smashing five windows, and damaging a security camera. The attack occurred at a little before 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Police said the man ran off on 62nd St. Police believed the same man used the hammer 30 minutes later to vandalize a second Brooklyn mosque on 8th Ave. near 60th St. See: NY1 News’ entry, in: http://www.ny1.com/news/2017/11/13/brooklyn-mosque-vandalized.html, retrieved on14.11.2017 US: DHS official who made islamophobic comments resigns. Another remains in a senior role.— Rev. Jamie Johnson, a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, had once said that Islam had given the world only “oil and dead bodies.” He had also argued that Jews became disproportionately wealthy through hard work while African Americans turned cities into “slums because of laziness, drug use, and sexual promiscuity.” Hours later, Johnson resigned as the head of DHS’s Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. However Frank Wuco, a senior White House adviser at DHS who had made similarly inflammatory comments about Muslims and other groups, was still working at the department in a role with significant implications for Muslims in America and abroad.
