Francine Laurendeau

Paul-Émile Borduas, Québec's voice of the Quiet Revolution, reflects on the impact of his writing and art in his Paris studio.

One of Canada's most remarkable families works tirelessly to aid displaced persons and refugees during the Second World War.

This feature-length documentary takes us back to the Montreal-Quebec trip undertaken in 1958 by the students of Francine Laurendeau, Jean-Pierre Goyer and Bruno Meloche with the aim of meeting the Prime Minister of Quebec, the Honorable Maurice Duplessis. They had been asked by their student assembly to hand-deliver a memorandum on joining the university. But the Prime Minister refuses to receive them. For three months, every morning, politely, they will reiterate their request... Thirty years later, we are taking the Montreal-Quebec train with them.

Edited from almost 100 km of film footage shot during the Games, this feature documentary is a breathtaking portrait of the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Much more than a simple record of the Games, the film approaches each event with the intention of revealing the athlete - whether winner or loser - as a unique individual.
