    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.

  • Laurence Anyways
    Lectures croisées et pistes de réflexions autour de Laurence Anyways A Cross-Reading of Laurence Anyways Interventions by Christina Brassard, Katrina Sark, Angela Urrea and Mariana Gil- Arboleda auréat du Queer Palm et du prix du meilleur long-métrage à TIFF à sa sortie en 2012, Laurence Anyways décrit l’amour difficile entre Frédérique et Laurence — une transgenre que nous rencontrons d’abord en tant qu’homme. À la fois L complexe et nuancée, cette exploration de l’identité, du genre et de l’amour est un terrain fertile pour une lecture croisée mettant à profit des chercheurs provenant de divers domaines et régions géographiques. Christina Brassard, doctorante à l’Université de Toronto en études françaises, exploite les concepts et schèmes d’analyse développés par Judith Butler pour analyser les tiraillements entre hétéronormativité, résistances et transgression des normes au sein du film dans le contexte plus large du cinéma québécois. Katrina Sark, qui enseigne à l’Université Victoria, fait quant à elle porter son analyse sur le rôle de la mode dans la construction de l’identité et, plus particulièrement, sur l’utilisation de la couleur par Dolan comme outil pour révéler le monde intérieur de ses personnages1. Pour conclure, Angela Urrea et Mariana Gil- Arboleda, de l’Université Manuela Beltran (Colombie), retournent chez Butler pour explorer l’importance du regard de l’autre dans la quête et la construction de l’identité. 1 Ce texte est tiré d’un ouvrage à paraître sous peu, Montréal Chic : A Locational History of Montreal Fashion.

  • INFLUENTIAL TIME for MONTRÉAL in BARCELONA for More Than a Century, the Mercè De Barcelone Has Been One of Europe’S Greatest Events
    “At the top of all the charts, Montréal has acquired an enviable reputation on the world stage—and culture plays an important role in this.” Mélanie Joly Minister of Canadian Heritage Martin Coiteux Minister of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy, Minister of Public Security, Minister responsible for Montréal region INFLUENTIAL TIME FOR MONTRÉAL IN BARCELONA For more than a century, the Mercè de Barcelone has been one of Europe’s greatest events. This late-summer festival attracts more than two million participants and tourists. Montréal was the guest of honour in 2013. The program developed by Montréal featured the city’s digital creativity and artistic invent- iveness. Without a doubt, the highlight was provided by Moment Factory, based on an idea of Renaud – Architecture d’événe- ments: a multimedia spectacle projected on the facade of the Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s celebrated, if still unfinished, basilica. Titled Ode à la vie, it was a homage to the work of the Barcelona architect who, through the play of light and optics, emphasized lines and sculptures, while bringing poetic images to life, as if rising up from a dream. For three even- ings the show was acclaimed by thousands of enchanted spectators. A creation by Cirque Éloize, an electronic music performance presented by Piknic Électronik, a concert performed by traditional music group Le Vent du Nord and a festival of Québec films filled out this rich and varied programming—all in the image of the city they represent!

A person who, without being a pariah, will question not only the rights and the value of the marginalized, but also those of the people who claim to be normal. –Laurence Alia (Melvil Poupaud), in Laurence Anyways 1 With precise words, we are introduced to Laurence Anyways (2012), the third film of French- Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan (born 1988). Laurence Anyways follows I Killed My Mother [J'ai tué ma mère, 2009] and Heartbeats [Les amours imaginaires, 2010]. In his semi-autobiographical debut, Dolan immersed into the mysteries of the relationship between mother and son, a film heaped with bourgeois family drama, pseudo-intellectual zest and a hotchpotch of pleasing aesthetics.
