Call Me Human
Depuis 10 ans, le Prix collégial du cinéma québécois, parrainé par Québec Cinéma, célèbre notre cinéma en le plaçant au centre des regards de la communauté collégiale. Ce cycle soulignera le 10e anniversaire de cette grande fête qui permet aux étudiant.e.s de se sensibiliser au cinéma d’ici et présentera les films lauréats du PCCQ depuis 2012.
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.
Sauvage, says Joséphine Bacon, means to be wholly free. When elders leave us, a link to the past vanishes along with them. Innu writer Joséphine Bacon exemplifies a generation that is bearing witness to a time that will soon have passed away. With charm and diplomacy, she leads a charge against the loss of a language, a culture, and its traditions. On the trail of Papakassik, the master of the caribou, Call Me Human proposes a foray into a people’s multimillennial history, in company with a woman of great spirit who has devoted her life to passing on her knowledge and that of her ancestors. In her language, Innu means human.
