Boisbouscache : Territoire sous influence
The mission of the Centre d'art et essai de la Cinémathèque québécoise (CAECQ) is to primary program Quebec-made documentaries and independent fiction, as well as international documentaries, animated and foreign films, while encouraging opportunities for meetings between the public and the artists. Its programming is presented in conjunction with the Cinémathèque québécoise’s under the label New releases.
The TNO (Unorganized Territory) Lac-Boisbouscache is a 150 square kilometer public forest located between Rivière-du-Loup and Rimouski in the Lower St. Lawrence region of Quebec, Canada. This ancestral territory of the Maliseet-de-Viger First Nation is today a common good since, as the government proclaims, the public forest belongs to all Quebecers. Well, all... That's a quick way of putting it! Through the eyes of forest residents and users, the film paints a portrait of a territory that has long been coveted by private groups with diverse interests. Boisbouscache : territoire sous influence is a story of dispossession based on the commercial uses in force today combined with the absence of any political will.
Jean-Claude Coulbois
Born in Paris, Jean-Claude Coulbois has been living and working in Quebec since 1968. Alternating between editing (Higelin, Lettre à mon père, Cap tournante) and directing, he embarked from 1995 on a series of films questioning various aspects of Quebec culture through the links between theater and societal evolution. This production explores different forms of direct cinema: from the short film Joyeux Noël, Julie (1997) to the feature documentary* Un Miroir sur la scène* (1997), a two-part retrospective look at the theatrical emergence in Quebec. Subsequently, he explores Le Territoire du comédien (1999) before following the creative process experienced by a group of actors during rehearsals for a text from Michel Tremblay directed by André Brassard, through a documentary chronicle, La Naissance d'une messe (2002). He also directed a documentary on Robert Gravel, Mort subite d'un homme-théâtre, in 2012, and the third installment of the Un Miroir sur la scène trilogy, Nous autres, les autres, in 2016.
