  • The Nfb at the Rendez-Vous De La Francophonie: Eye-Opening Films for the Whole Family
    THE NFB AT THE RENDEZ-VOUS DE LA FRANCOPHONIE: EYE-OPENING FILMS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is very proud to be part of the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie for the 14th consecutive year, with a lineup of films offering unique, compelling stories and candid points of view. For this 21st edition of the RVF, we invite Canadian francophones and francophiles to enjoy these films on the theme of dialogue between cultures. The selection includes Luc Bourdon’s latest documentary, La part du diable (The Devil’s Share), along with recent award-winning animated films that have been screened at prestigious festivals around the world: Trois mille (Three Thousand) by Asinnajaq, Le sujet (The Subject) by Patrick Bouchard, Étreintes (Embraced) by Justine Vuylsteker, Rubans (Threads) by Torill Kove, Une tête disparaît (The Head Vanishes) by Franck Dion, MacPherson by Martine Chartrand and La pureté de l’enfance (Sweet Childhood) by Zviane. Two programs for children offer lively and colourful imagery for younger viewers. The first, Des histoires d’ici pour les petits (Tales from Here for Tots), is a collection of tales and legends drawn from Indigenous storytelling traditions. The second, Des animaux qui ont presque toujours le dernier mot (Animals Who (Almost) Always Get the Last Word) includes stories in which humans and animals, or animals themselves, find solutions to problems—such as the complex language challenges that are part of Canada’s cultural landscape. This diverse selection of titles is sure to appeal to a wide variety of audiences. The NFB recognizes the role it plays in fostering dialogue between cultures through the films it produces, from its documentaries to its animation.
